Not really that, but somehow in this direction....
I suggested to my wife that we get an emergency generator. I told her we should get one with diesel because we usually have a lot of diesel for heating.
Her comment: Let us take one with electric supply
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

It's possible if you consider the sun or wind to power it...
Or you could get the mother of all UPS too...

Foot-pedal generators are better.

Solar with battery storage- run off the sun during the day and batteries at night. What holds me back is the initial investment; the batteries are freaking expensive.
In the USA; when fuel costs are factored in, Natural Gas is the cheapest way to go. Actually costs less to run my house (and a neighbor's) for less than the local power utility- to the tune of $10/month. An awful long time to pay it off though.
Diesel and Propane are close in price for operations, and gas/petrol is the least efficient.
For us tinkerers out there (eg CodeWitch)... an old diesel genset could be converted to run on many different oil-based fuels such as heating oil, kerosene, vegetable oil.

Pretty Cool answer
Well, I have plenty of roof to place solar panels, but unfortunately I don't have the money to do it (especially also not for the dirty batteries)
Have a nice day

She was around for the first outbreak of that, so it should scare her enough.

*arghhhh* no chance to report your message here nor your profile for plagiarism.
I think I will post a message on B&S to add such a tool

Hey!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Which brings up two questions:
1) If some work by A is copied/plagiarized by B, and C copies/plagiarizes what B presents (without any source indicated), does then B have a moral/legal right to complain about plagiarism?
2) How similar/identical must the copy be in order to be plagiarism?
"First we will play a few guitar chords in an arpeggio style, which are owned by Randy California, and then we switch over to a tune by Led Zeppelin".
If you say nothing, but play the arpeggios only, who are you then plagiarizing? If you play the same chord sequence non-arpeggio, are you then plagiarizing? ... And so on.
You run into quite similar issues with litterature: At what point does an author gain the right to the plot of a novel? Boy-meets-girl-and-falls-in-love, Boy-and-girl-argue-and-break-up, Boy-and-girl-understand-that-they-need-another-and-come-together-again ... You can't copyright that plot. You can copyright a book using that plot, but how deep in details does the copyright extend?
Software raises the same problems. If I find some code on a FOSS site, adapt it from C to C#, translate comments and variable names from French to English and reformat the code ... At what stage am I no longer bound by whatever style of FOSS license the code was published under? (Saying that "the license tells you what you can do" is evading the problem: It just treats the plain issues, not the borderline cases.)
