That means they paid rental fee for a few more days
That is not cheap. Sponsors could pick up tab. Or roadrunners association
Night be a fee to run, tack on a couple of bucks charge to cover the cost of juice.
Then this week generator is paid for
Rental co not going to leave it thier for free
The wiring was in and those generators come like plug and play
It is heavy duty socket, just plug the in
Thru could have dropped them someplace. An electrician could have gone re- wired say the circuit panel to a gas station in a few hours and they could have been a go
Aside for the rental fee those guzzle diesel fuel
Probably included in the rental fee it was gassed up
They carry a few hundred gallons of fuel
Frankly it would be more environmentally friendly option if con ed put some sort of service tap
On the line a junction box of some sort nearby were the tent would be located.
Every year they could just tap into that. Would save floor space. Those generators make noise and spew carbon dioxide.
Not like it is onetime deal they could tap into it every year
Yes, those generators are very reliable
