I use gasoline-powered generators.

Me too.
After the ice storm a few years ago I now have one big enough to run my furnace, refrigerator, microwave, tv & dvd player (for grandkids), a couple lamps and my tanks. A tank of gas will last 10 hours. I can have everything running in less than 15 minutes. During that storm I was without power for 3 1/2 days and I decided then, never again.

I will soon be getting a couple of bus/truck batteries. They have a massive capacity and should be able to keep filters, heater and light going for quite some time.
A friend of mine is a bus driver, and has promised me to get them for me very cheap :D
