Thanks for the link! My initial reaction was quite similar to GP's. However, I still think that, if they use compressed air from a gasoline-based compressor to drive an appliance, that's as good as using a gasoline generator to drive the same appliance (with the option to use a wind-based generator instead).

Think of it less as having an issue with a gasoline generator and more about wanting it to be sufficiently more effort to use it that it takes more thought to decide to do something.

It's a nice life hack in general to create barriers that makes it easier to behave how you want to behave than to take shortcuts.

The thing to remember is they aren't asking you to adjudicate what they are doing.
We can still question and criticise. They don't need to listen or act.
