Just for kicks, here is the Ultimate in home emergency power.  It is
always ready to go provided
you and your car are at home. It includes self testing and auto starting.
It will also save you money on your transportation when not being used
as a generator.

The idea of using a TOYOTA PRIUS as a standby power source has now been
done. Check
out http://www.priups.com/exec-summary.htm  and
http://www.priups.com/riddle/answer-1.htm .

Then to take this concept further, add one of the plug in hybrid
adaptations (3,000 to 12,000) and
you won't need to buy gasoline very often either.

This site has had Vehicle to Grid articles for quite some time.

I would like to see SOFC fuel cells used in cars. They are more
tolerant of sulfur and actually use CO as a fuel, so no need for
gas shift reactors. You could plug one in when you get home and
sell power back to the grid. If you reform bioethanol, you could
be CO2 neutral as well.
