Power generator for home emergency use?

That sort of shit used to really piss me off, when they made you do this crap. Hong Kong for all its convenience, also has some very cryptic impracticalities, that, thankfully, we don't get bothered by here.

It’s actually very easy to get the petrol out of your or anyone’s car tank, if you know how.

We are not that bad, but there are planned brownouts for 7 to 9 hours perhaps every two to four weeks when they are connecting another substation or mains cable or repairing poles. Unplanned cuts are much rarer now, usually cut cables or a transformer blows up.

As if on cue, 12 hour power cut on Friday for the whole city to energize another new substation and the associated mains cabling



A disadvantage of living in one of the fastest growing areas of one of the fastest growing regions in one of the fastest growing countries. I would imagine we are at 8% or so growth.
