Also, generators make a lot of noise. One might think that matters less for certain uses like an emergency, but an emergency is often when people’s nerves are already frayed and maintaining a calm environment can be really important.
I mentioned that in my #117. Some camp grounds either ban or limit hours of operation because of it. And yes, during an emergency situation it may be in your best interest NOT to draw attention to yourself by running a loud generator. CI does have a good point about a small (1kw or less) generator used only to charge a couple of deep cycle batteries though.
