In the 21st century, going without electricity is more than a simple inconvenience. When the “juice” stops flowing, everything about our modern way of living also comes to a screeching halt.
See this NPR story, “Home generator sales are booming with mass outages, climate change and COVID.”
As noted in the story, and which I appreciated, are the comments about safety. Carbon monoxide is a major concern, but burns and fires are also not uncommon if people are not practicing all the safety precautions.
See this Disaster Zone TV segment I did a few years back on generator safety: “Hooking Up a Generator Safely.”
Brandon Hardenbrook shared the above NPR story.
