I am absolutely in favor of this. There are a lot of street lights, power lines, and buildings in the game. Right now, our light sources are limited to flashlights, construction lights , Christmas lights, torches, and a gas lamp. It devalues generators greatly if all they can do is run a strand of Christmas lights on a tent, or a construction light. Being able to tie a generator into existing street lights means having a much more capable base, adds significant value to generators, and would really drive home the importance/desire to build a base/homestead, all the while emphasize the importance of defending it from Zeds.
