If there were 25 million active GA pilots...

How about one of those fan type generators you can lower into the
slipstream? Don't some airliners have something like that or is it just
something I saw in a movie?

P.S. I'm a federal employee with a couple of bosses I'd like to deck. How do
I do it without getting fired? ;-)

The real "best of both worlds" is a dual bus electrical system with a
vacuum
for backup/redundancy.

I wonder how soon that arrangement might make it's way into the lower
echelon of GA aircraft now that miniaturization is becoming so prevalent.

"Federal personnel data show that just 434 civilian federal workers were
fired for poor performance in 2001. Just 210 non-defense workers,
or 1 in 5,000, were fired for poor performance. Firing rates were
similarly low in prior years, and are low across all agencies."

NOTE: "Poor performance" is pretty much limited to sexual harassment,
theft,
assault, and other criminal actions. Even that is not often enough for a
federal
employment termination.
