Loading ...I don’t think we want gas-powered generators in the future, because they make too much noise, they have to be refilled too much, and then people know. I think it’s far better to have a couple Powerwalls and a natural gas generator such as a Kohler that sits in a vault. You can run the generator sporadically just to charge the power walls, so you’re not running the generator 24 hours a day. Out of sight, out of mind. Natural gas is an endless supply, and as long as there’s pressure on the pipe, we’re good to go. Solar would dove tail into a battery system nicely too. If they cut natural gas, you can move, propane or gas, just by changing the fuel injection settings. I mean if this is the case and you have paranoid neighbors you can all go in on one generator and basically rotate the generator between the battery packs on everyone’s houses and you have an infinite power supply.
They’ve had the mountains turned off for about five or six days along the foothills in Denver b/c of high winds and fire danger. People are mad, but they need this system, exactly that I’m describing. In fact, all of my new home builds above 6,400 feet in elevation need backup power and fire sprinklers (and a long list of fire-resistant details) now because of the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). It’s a new code provision brought to you by the insurance companies!
Something else I did was that I wired a pigtail cord end onto my furnace power supply, so that I can run my forced air furnace fan, combustion exhaust fan, igniter and the smart thermostat from an extension cord. I use a DC/AC converter in my car and run a 120V cord into the house. My car has a remote start and I can start the engine to recharge my battery. It works. Heat without power.
So you can tell that video below me is made by the China Man, because those fools can’t afford this type of a setup. It’s financially over their heads and comprehension. haha. Electric cars, same thing, you have essentially a rolling battery pack. Electric car= good and smart.
