While driving from San Diego a couple of days ago, I saw some generators
that were basically running 24/7 lighting up some road billboards.

What brand of larger industrial duty generator would be a good one to watch
for? Any to stay away from? I'm thinking something like a four banger or
small diesel. Should be able to buy one in today's economy reasonable.

Somebody's prayers, but not likely SteveB's. Note

Guess what the shipping on that baby will be,
especially if it has to come from a good distance?
Looks like $15 K by the time you get it on your
property.
Oh, you also need a 120 AH, 900 CCA battery (sold
separately) for it. Adds new meaning to
"batteries not included"! That alone has to run
several hundred $.
Muffler sold separately? I wouldn't be surprised.

Nah, do their "Special order to store" and pickup yourself, so no extra
shipping charges, and since it's at the store, use the 15% coupon too...
