The generator will be 4-stroke and probably running at a mostly constant rpm so it should at least be less polluting than 2-stroke. Extra points for a propane generator!

The electric ones are pretty good (I have the Ego one), but it's the battery life that "blows". Since I also have the Ego mower & weedwhacker, I have 3 batteries to swap through, but it is a pain during fall cleanup. Abso

Take the North East of the US, there's not enough solar year round, nor is it generally windy enough of the time to generate power for a densely populated region & power hungry growing region. So my logic is go Nuclear, like France

All I'm saying is we need a mix of generation, including guaranteed baseline generating capacity. A typical nuclear plant puts out 1GW, that's pretty substantial. Take a look at France: https://www.world-nuclear.org&#x

I'm a big fan of renewables, solar/wind/hydro. But we still need that baseline generating capacity for these dark icy winter days. It's clear now that coal/oil isn't it (pollution) and we should reserve natur

Eh, I guess that's one interpretation of the comment, the OP was talking about cost per MW/hr. But at something like $9K MW/hr, then a day's worth of usage could well be $240. I guess with numbers like this I was just l

Per MW/hr? $2 to $4 seems way too cheap. Here in MA, National Grid in is approx. $0.1239 per KW/hr so x1000 (KW->MW) that would be ~$123 (that's the basic energy cost, not incl. delivery and the "extras" they h
