Generator allowed for business (workshop, farm). Forbidden for home. Line: business = necessity. Home = comfort. Comfort = weakness. Weakness = path to the world.
Rules
Workshop only (no closer than 50 meters to house). Tools only (not TV, not fridge). Off by 6 PM (evening = family = silence). Fuel — diesel (not grid-connected).
Power
5-15 kW standard. Enough for compressor + workshop light. Amish furniture workshop with generator produces furniture competing with factories. No computers, no CNC. Just hands + air.
