Some think of them as those individual generators that you have in your house for backup solutions when the grid is down.
Those real gas powered generators are indeed damn reliable, our largest logistic center was finished before an underground line that need to go under a river was finished by the electric company, so two monsters systems each with 3MW supplied the power for about 3 months, 24/7 with not a single failure.
But god, the noise and the heat, you couldn't hear trucks rushing in and out of the gates when you were standing near them.
Haha aye, my state (1 of 14 in my country) produces so much natural gas we've been flaring them since as long as I can remember, more chimneys flaring over the years -- and I'm quite old.
Have had fantasies of using it all up with a few of those power generators, make a deal to power share off all that wasted gas. They really are quite intensive mfs, but I've never seen them in use anywhere else, and from the responses on the thread, yeah I guess most of the world won't recognise them. I'd say they're fairly new tech, but I'm far from being an expert
