Definition of Irony... CA has rolling black outs due to trying to source power from unreliable renewable sources, reducing carbon emissions. Fed up homeowners all install fossil fuel generators to make up for black outs, raising carbon emissions back to where they were previously
I've wanted to add one to my home, but they really are $$$ and our power grid is pretty reliable here. Duke finally came through and butchered a ton of trees that were causing lines to go down in storms. For me, the one or two times a year it happens for a few hours isn't worth it. We have gas for heat in the winter.
