Bill!,
We, err-r, "hams" have to be (like to be) ready, in case of an emergency, and
like to have home-power on-hand in case the big-momma should go down. We think
our comm's might save the day, a little at a time. And we see it happen, when
things happen. We train for it, so it's not mayhem on D-Day (or de Day, as
they say in Jamaica).
I don't do that, yet, the training(s), but I am new to the game. I want spare
power to spare, in order to work DX when the bands become REALLY quiet when all
the world's electrical noise-sources die. It's not just for me, it's for THEM
("others", we called them, before Awakening)! We hams help each other. Well,
I *think* we're others.
BTW, in Israel, there are some Jewish hams, and they are still as Kosher as
they wannabe.
Bill!, when the mains are at ground-potential, cost is not an option. We have
options in place. They cost, but what the hay.
Speaking as a ham.
But I still can't ape Porky Pig too convincingly. You'd never know that, here!

PS I think Edgar could be his own wind-generator, reliably! Bill!, you are a
*SOURCE* of light, and not a good photoelectric converter. That would be US.
