Because AC generators run on rainbows and unicorns?

Because AC generators run on rainbows and unicorns? In other words, in a power outage that is not relatively localized you're not going to be able to buy the fuel to run it on. The biggest problem with a relatively short (less than a day or two) outages is in northern locations in the winter because of pipes freezing. I have thought about buying a generator for those scenarios but it's not really worthwhile unless it's hooked into your house electrical system. Plus you have to be around to operate it. Starts to look expensive to guard against a relatively rare scenario.
