Everything starts during Katrina,  I spent more time in the gas station than at work. The Diesel pump always was empty. My search for a diesel generator started with FleBay-PS-George-Roketboy and here.

I read about a guy in Fla. that had a listeroid that he  used to power his house after a couple of hurricanes.

That is how I got interested. Here's his site http://www.f1-rocketboy.com/lister.html. When I read about running his house on 1/3 gallon per hour I wanted one.

I got here through Rocket-boy's site as well.  That guy should get some kind of award.  I think he is responsible for about 1/4 of us being here.  I farm outside a small city in Ontario.  The idea of being self-sufficient is a strong one with me.  I have spent many a well lubricated evening with neighbors trying to convince them that our societie's evil energy using ways are bad.  The most I can get out of them is an offer for another beer.  While I like the idea of being able to have my comforts when everyone else is suffering, I like the idea of not being yet another drain on the system better.  I have no false notions about free power, or free anything.  I just want to look after my family as best as I can.  The low-speed way currently looks like the best bet.
