And, no, it's not solar or wind.

Take a look:

It's 32v and made by General Motors, so it should fit right in with someone's Detroits.

That's right... home electrical systems used to be 32 volts dc. This must be what homes had before the rural electric initiative in the thirties. Fascinating.

Can you imagine the treehuggers in your neighborhood going nuts when you fire it up?

Interesting find. Too bad I've already got too much "interesting" stuff kicking around.

Nice marketing: selling a Delco Light next to a Lite beer.

Hit and miss engines were primitive dual fuel, weren't they? Start on gas, run on whatever ya brung.
