Why didn't you spend your money on a wind generator?

I have seen some farms with these new devices, not because of Y2K, just to cut back on power consumption. These gas generators are not economic for continuos use.

In my opinion, all these people who are buying generators JUST because of Y2K are wasting their money.

If the power happens to go out for an hour are you going to fire up the generator? Have you never experienced a power outage?

Frankly, we in the media deserve a swift kick for making the panic worse. <<
