Regardless of which generator you might pick, contact your electric company to make sure you can safely connect it to your home and you know how and when to use it correctly. Improperly connected generators can send power back into the grid, making it extremely dangerous for line crews and the public. Create Your Own Electricity In Case Of Prolonged Blackouts |

@hitake, it depends on how local you're thinking. California's historically stricter emissions standards were created primarily for Los Angeles because by the 1960s air pollution was making the region dangerous and the changes have made a huge difference. If your Beetle or 2 stroke is running in, say North Dakota, the local impact is almost irrelevant, but in an urban environment it can really affect you and you neighbors.

Emissions standards have risen continuously since the late 1960s. As have safety requirements and customers' demands for luxury features. All of which increase the complexity, cost, and environmental impact of building new vehicles. The Beetle used technology and materials dating to the early 1930s and what you need to be aware of is that it left the market because it couldn't pass the relatively lax emissions requirements of its time. It's an interesting collectors item, but if your concern is primarily environmental, a car from the 80s or 90s is much, much cleaner, and vastly safer.

I'm not an expert in either medicine or particle physics, but I see no reason not to believe those experts. That said, experts in those fields overwhelmingly believe there's no link between the EMF generated by personal electronics and any health problems. This is despite many studies into the subject. While there are plenty of environmental health risks, like tobacco use and sunlight, wifi doesn't seem to be one. News: Is Your Wi-Fi Killing Trees? PC World |
