I mean, when they allow what tbeyve (they've, edited for typo) allowed in Texas, I'd say the government has a portion of blame squarely on them. Props to this person for prepping and not counting on a proven to be unreliable system, but I don't live all that far from Texas, experienced very similar weather, live in a pretty rural area with all overhead lines, and still had an outtage that lasted only about 36 hours. Well below 0 wind chills and no major issues. Also part of the blame isnt on the government, ERCOT still made bad decisions, but given the situation they were placed in, being roughly 90 seconds from a full grid shutdown at one point, they managed the best they could. You should definitely look into how it all went down. I think the channel "Practical Engineering" is the one that put out a detailed video about it.
Next year it'll be time to get Battery storage so the generator doesn't need to run on idle or low watts. Lots of inveter chargers allow automation to be programmed so that a relay closes (or opens) when the batteries get too low on capacity. Also, 48V is more efficient
finally someone who gets it and preps for themselves instead of blaming the govenment

If you'd like me to simplify the video, let me know, I can give you the jist.

buy diesel clean in bulk and sell it at parts stores.
Can you share a materials list for this configuration?
