Sweet setup, what's the reason for the extreme attention to backup power? is the grid really that unreliable where you are?

I've had one unplanned power outage in the last 10 years so it seems like a crazy amount of backup to me.

Yeah that seems kinda crazy to me too. I've lived in my current house for 8 years and the only time the power has gone out was when a vehicle crashed into one of the distribution boxes by the road. Our power and internet come from the same provider so it was a double whammy for several hours.

But I suppose it depends where you are - i worked at a place that had two independent power feeds from two different cities, massive UPSs to run the datacenter for 10 minutes and then two redundant diesel generators with several months of fuel on site. I still saw that go down twice in my time there.

I've had my power go out around 10 times this year. Gotta love that TX power grid
