      It is immensely more efficient to run a generator and collect/use that power precisely than to combust it and use that power directly.

        I’ve heard of something like that, but at this point couldn,'t they just plug it into a socket?

          It depends on the amount of power available at mains vs what is needed. If they need more amperage than mains can handle, a genny is about the only option unless they’re willing to pay for more electrical infrastructure assuming it’s available.
