[RE-wrenches] Question on Back up generators

[Kevin Pegg]

Up here in Canada, there are no rules or regulations on pollution from generators. And so thus EPA rules aren't an issue. I kinda wish there was, though, as the amount of waste and un-needed air pollution is just staggering. 100's of remote sites with small generators, operating inefficiently, 24x7x365.... 

As for sourcing, we buy generators directly from Cummins.

I thought these ran into difficulties with the EPA decades ago. These were
great. Where is a good source for them?
