Can you imagine living in Florida during the summer without power? The whole house generator is a $10k investment into your house and I think it would be a perk if you were trying to sell your house with 1.
I wouldn’t want a portable generator, what good is that going to do you?

BTW: I just looked at their stock, it hasn’t done anything for the past year except to go down while other securities I had were gaining 30-100+% late last year to early this year.

How did they survive prior to air conditioning? Be surprised what you can do when have to. The highest recorded temperatures in Florida was in 1931, 109 degrees
