  • After a severe storm, the generators come out, but officials still want to remind you about the safety of not keeping one enclosed.

    CO2 is NOT carbon monoxide. CO2 is carbon dioxide. Come on new people. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    If the report is about carbon monoxide, why does the video title say "CO2" ?
    Carbon monoxide and CO2 are two different things.

      @@mike_w-tw6jdno it can’t be both because carbon monoxide has the one “O” in its molecular denotation and carbon dioxide has the 2 “O”s in i’s molecular denotation. Combining this information with the context and specific subject of what the man is specifically talking about in the video, we find that no it cannot be both in the context of the speech. Carbon monoxide is poisonous. Carbon Dioxide is not poisonous, per se. Only that, your body cannot live on carbon dioxide but your body still makes it, and too much can still kill you but, carbon dioxide suffocates you to kill you. Carbon dioxide does not poison your blood it just suffocates your lungs. Whereas, alternatively, carbon monoxide is poisonous, simultaneously poisoning your blood stream while you also suffocate. Careful folks! stay alive!

    Everyone should have a functioning CO alarm, with digital readout. They're like $50. Get one. I have one, and at least once every 5 years, it reads CO present for one reason or another. If you don't think you need one, you're dead wrong!

    I know so many people that has had these generators installed by Generac and they didnt need any permits or getting the power company involved and it sure didnt take a month for the process. that dude and the reporter is full of crap

      I’ve had two Generac generators installed. First one took forever only because the demand was super high. I ordered right after the freeze the fireman mentioned. In my current home, it was very quick. I used Grasten Generators both times. You get the gas company involved so they can upgrade the gas meter. Power company didn’t get involved (at least not from the customer side). Maybe they spoke with them in the background?

      100% needs a permit to get installed in the city of Houston. Whether they did that or not is a different question. Generac doesn't install these things, 3rd party companies do.
