You know how loud it is when your inside and the lawn service is out mowing your yard..same thing but worse because these don’t move around like a mower.
I truly hope TV gives this a serious look before even considering it. It would be a HUGE mistake allowing permanent generators to be installed.
There is no ....if they allow.... they are being installed at very many new home sites every day.
Easily 1/3 of the homes in our village has them. Then another 1/3 like me, have the "portable" gas generator.

In our village we post that in a prolonged power outage if our outside lights are on come on up and let us know what you need powered up.
