Every Texan I know

So none?

I lived in TX while I was stationed there for like 3 years. Exactly 0 people I've met there had a generator.

and the average wage in Texas

The cost of living is also significantly less.

California or Washington

Where it's double my mortgage payment to have a 2 be apartment?

I think that it's a good idea to have a generator in places that get serious storms, and coastal Texas can get hurricanes. I don't think that this is something specific to Texas' power generation, which is what I think the parent commenter is complaining about. Florida, which really gets whacked with hurricanes, is somewhere I'd really want to have a generator.
