“...what happens when the power goes off?”
For us, the Automatic Transfer Switch starts the natural-gas fired 26 kW Briggs and Stratton emergency generator. The lights go out for a few seconds while the switch transfers to the generator.
As long as we don’t lose BOTH NG and electricity simultaneously, we are good. But if the greeniacs get us to that point where both are unreliable, then it’s time for a 500 gallon propane tank.
I installed the system about 16 months ago and, though we’ve had some fierce windstorms and snowfalls, the power has stayed on! Wouldn’t you know it?!

Obama had 2,500 gallons of Natural Gas tanks installed on just one of his many properties. The Oregon Governor just upgraded her mansion to the latest in Natural Gas, and installed huge propane tanks. She specifically campaigned on getting rid of Natural Gas (except for herself, of course).
After President Trump let the drillers Drill Baby Drill, we became the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas. We began exporting huuuuuge ships full of LNG to Europe. Some European countries with water ports are building large, offshore LNG processing facilities. They can, or will, receive and use the LNG instead of depending upon Russia.
We have thousands of years of hydrocarbons. Abundant, inexpensive energy equals more and more freedom, which is why the democRATS label it as evil. They can install massive gas tanks on their properties, but the rest of us need to sit next to the homeless on mass transit, walk, use a bicycle, while they are warm and cozy, at home and in their large SUVs, private jets, on and on.
