I was at a bloke place today and he had a number of old stationary engines that just plonk along and with their big flywheels run on the smell of an oily rag. One he started up and ran today was originally used on a generator. That aside, apart from the $70,000 for a fraction of that cost you can set up and go completely off the grid, so why would anybody go down the path of spending all that money so the power companies can go and rip you blind with their never ending price rises. You don't know how well off your are without having those mongrels getting in your back pocket
