I was wondering if a generator might be a shrewd investment, given talks of potential rolling blackouts in some areas. The ability to have electricity when others don't certainly seems desirable.
If we are to do analysis of op post and generator investment I will say it is still not putting price down regarding to household expenses to generating energy, electricity and cooking cost. Yes it is going to be shrew for the buyer or user but profitable to manufacturer.
Reasons to be shrew for user is
1. If we are considering cost in the home, the generator use does not cost less. You have to fuel it almost on the daily basis. Money to buy the fuel goes out from the house and regarding as extra expenses.
2. There is time when use for long it started to generate fault and you need to go to generator technician or mechanic for repair, that cost extra fees for the charge for labour and change of faulty parts.
3. Generator is leading to high noise in the environment that disturb your ear and you hear noise everytime and no peace.
4 Risk of explosion caused by the using of generator. This is possible from different angles like filling the fuel to the generator careless way.
5. Smoke and heat in the environment
The smoke that come from generator is dangerous , deadly and can cause death
It appears fire wood and wood burning stoves could be the next bitcoin. These trends emphasize high price volatility which can occur in response to market trends and shifting demand.
Firewood is not same with bitcoin. The use of wood burning to generate fire may be getting attention and demand for it can be on the increase but not to compare with bitcoin need. Wood burning is already having a limitation because of the global warming and ozone layer that is affected because of the activities of cutting down trees and bush for firewood, building and others. There is a big disadvantage to go back to that time, I don't see the possiblity and there are regulation on that against cutting down trees and bush burning.
For woodburning, the world is changing and major reason is cutting down trees. This can cause natural disasters flooding that is happening in the world is part of it. The US is giving help to some countries on flooding disaster already.
To compare demand and supply, bitcoin is far more in demand and wood fetching is already in disadvantage for global warming, heat, ozone layer effect.
Using of stove to cook is still expensive. You have to use kerosene and that is not cheap. Bitcoin transfer is cheaper, less than $0.1
