I've been thinking this way for a while now but this is the first time I've heard anyone working on it. Lots of advantages. No overhead power lines. Nat gas cheap if you live in an area with lots of it. But the mechanical engine of the generator is the negative. Would require lots of upkeep. Fuel cells are a more efficient way to go.
