gas stations don't work in a blackout,

...do US statioms not have their own generators?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Nope. Even some US hospitals don't have backup generators.

No idea about the US, but not in Europe. It was a major problem with the last blackout in Spain and Portugal.

I am asking because I worked in gas station in Poland and we had backup generator. xD

How are you going to fill those generators if the pump has no power?
