Ive been looking around for a genset for the homestead. Not so much
for emergency power, but to run my welders from. Emergency backup is

My normal monthly electric bill is $150 or so (**** you Gray
Davis!!!!) and it seems that the minute I turn a welder on..it goes to
$300 a month.

No can afford this sort of thing anymore.

An Onan commercial mobile 7.5 KW diesel generator uses 0.96
gallons/hr at full load.

At about $2/gallon, that's about 27 cents per KWH.
