And just what is my bizarre thinking? That power companies should provide
interlocks to their customers that have generators?

And the customers have the generators because the power companies
(PCs) cannot provide sufficient reliability. That's sometimes not the
PCs fault, e.g. weather; but then the PCs should be willing to provide
the interlock if the customer provides the genset.

The 'phone company used
to provide interference suppression devices for customer-owned telephones,
ostensibly to protect their circuits from non-conforming equipment. Many
water companies provide backflow preventers to keep their product pure.

The power company already installs lightning arrestors, reclosures, and
ground wires on almost every pole - again to protect their equipment.

It's the concept I'm arguing.

Tell you what's really bizar your concluding that I have no regard for
human life. You didn't find that in my post. In fact, just the opposite. I
suggest that if the power company DID provide interlock devices, the chance
for injury would be lessened.

I like the way you think.
