Anyway, the home backup generators I'm seeing online run from natural gas or LP, which won't be flowing after the Beeeg One.

You would only run the gennie for a few hours a day if that. Cool down the freezer, run a few lights a few hours after it gets dark ect. You really get up and go to sleep with the sun. Step back for a second, and think about our forefathers before electricity. House is cold...wear more clothes. Cold outside...put your food out there. You need to think essential bare needs. Our ranch didn't get electricity until the late 50's.-WW
