    I lived in TX while I was stationed there for like 3 years. Exactly 0 people I’ve met there had a generator.

    I think that it’s a good idea to have a generator in places that get serious storms, and coastal Texas can get hurricanes. I don’t think that this is something specific to Texas’ power generation, which is what I think the parent commenter is complaining about. Florida, which really gets whacked with hurricanes, is somewhere I’d really want to have a generator.

      I’d rather take their statement for what it literally was. Since that’s what they went out of their way to explain. And since you’re not them…

      Very few Texans I knew (with the number being literally 0)… for years of living there. And myself during that time. Did not have a generator. That’s it. Short of them providing any actual evidence of their claim. It’s been dispelled. That’s it.

      Should they have one? I don’t really care to comment deeply on that. I didn’t see a point to having one while I lived there. So I would assume most people would also come to the same conclusion.
