Pull the plug on the fool.

Earth is for pathetic sissies. Why are you scared of some electrons?

Being able to manage the loads from the panel is the beauty of the whole thing. You could have some situation where there are too many loads on one circuit, but I think that's rare. In my case I had:

A freezer on one circuit A fridge on another Water heater power vent on another Furnace on another Lights/receptacles on a whole bunch of breakers, I just turned on the ones for the lights/receptacles of interest. I could have probably turned them all on, because there just isn't that much there, especially with CFL, LED lights etc. and with appliances only being used one at a time anyway, etc.

Sigh. It's too hard to flip some breakers in the panel?

I think the best solution is to get a generator or one of the conversion kits that runs on nat gas. No more gas storage, getting gas during an extended outage, carb fouling, etc.

Great if the gas pipe is running to your house. It is unavailable in lots of places ... like here. I have 120 gallons of propane (max) but after any kind of serious storm, getting more might be tough
