Yeah, it burned somebody's house to a crisp here last year around here. It certainly makes the case why leaving professionals in charge of power issues is the better idea. although with pg&e it's a tough call, my telco not so much.
I considered a generator at some point, for home back up. In the end, and for various reasons, I settled on renewables. I'm just not sure where all that Li-Ion will go after 15 - 20 years of use, though... One European manufacturer (the one whose battery I bought) says that as of now, they can only recycle 20% of each battery they sell. To me, that sounds like just the metal case enclosure, and the plastic facia. Ah well, maybe disposal tech. for Li-Ion storage will have improved by 2040. Mark.
