It is probably worse than had you used real trees. But since it already exists, my guess is that now it’s better to keep using it. 

Most sources say real trees are better for the environment than fake ones. 

Spot on. Electricity is cheap. Range is what matters right now. The real correlation is probably range per dollar and efficiency is a component of that. But the simple efficiency doesn’t really matter to me much as long as it's in the realm of reasonableness. 

I guess you need to get out more too? It happens less than the USA because Europe is relatively congested so it’s hard to do in many places. Kinda hard to have a car chase in Manhattan too. But it absolutely does happen.

Would that be like oh I don't know maybe scrambling a nearby officer to a place where the truck was headed? That kind of thing? 

How do you know it was reckless driving? Is every time that a car hits have pedestrian murder? Just universaly? If a person jumps out in front of a moving car - still murder? 

My general experience in the USA is private campgrounds almost universally don’t allow generators or loud music. Even the ones without electric hookups Public campgrounds mostly are a free for all. The ones that have rules rarely enforce them unless they are owned by local municipalities.

Is every car crash where a person dies a murder?

Police chases happen in Europe. You need to get out more.

I’ll add that the car is stolen and driven immediately after armed robbery. 

Criminals hold woman at gun point. Then run away from police. This isn’t rocket science. Of course police will try to stop them as fast as they can.

There was a time when people generally weren’t selfish assholes. They would run a generator maybe half an hour in the morning and a bit in the evening and then turn them off. Now they run them all fucking day long. And it’s not many. It’s a few assholes. But there's always one or two. 

Just because you can doesn’t make it not a crappy thing to do. I never said they were breaking the rules. I said they are assholes because they are being assholes. And the idea of an open widow to be obnoxious to all your neighbors doesn’t mean you should be obnoxious the entire time because you’re selfish. My…

If you’ve been, you know that there’s always one or two assholes who sit in their camper and run the generator from the time they’re allowed to turn it on in the morning until the time that they must shut it off at night. Yellowstone should ban them in all of the campgrounds. Or at least group them all together so…

I own an RV. I’m not an asshole. I don’t use a generator. It’s pretty simple really.

These campers are predominantly using between 2000 and 3500w gas generators. The noisy little gasoline powered ones. All. Day. Long. The issue is really that the campgrounds should (and are finally starting to) ban their use. But they really should ban obnoxious cars and motorcycles too. 

The average 35' 5th wheel owner runs the generator for 12hr every day - the entire period they're allowed to run them at the campground. At least that's my experience. The typical smaller travel trailer owner has already switched to battery and solar. 

Solar works better. I don’t have to go buy gas. I can go indefinitely with a pretty reasonable cost battery system plus my solar. Not to mention that it generates electricity every day on normal days too. Solar produces pretty well even on overcast days. The bad times are heavy snow storms that can last for days at a…

I think the LC is robust - able to take a lot of abuse without breaking. Probably a lot more than most drivers are willing to endure from the driver’s seat. You’ll break before it does. So I think you’re right that it’s extra not fragile. But probably not the opposite of fragile. But that probably is different and…
