Staff Report: Blackout Power Solutions
The small, gasoline-powered portable generator is the classic ad hoc response to a major power outage. Yet it may be the homeowner's worst possible choice. Able to provide only enough output for a few lights and a refrigerator, gas-powered generators need frequent refueling and make a lot of noise. Of even more concern is the fact that in a storm situation, portable generators often kill a few people, either by carbon monoxide poisoning or by electrocution. What's more, gasoline spills occasionally cause structure fires and serious burns, and if the do-it-yourself user decides to get creative and wire the generator directly into a home circuit, a generator set can "back-feed" the utility, sending lethal voltage to utility workers repairing lines.
