Description

A third name is pushing power bills besides storms and utilities, so I checked what AI data centers really mean for a generator plan. I trace how wholesale power prices travel to your kitchen bill, then run my own cost-per-kilowatt-hour comparison between generator fuel and grid power at the bench. That math flips my old thinking, so I walk through the three changes I'm making to my own fridge, freezer, and well pump backup this season.
