I'm very concerned about these and similar (e.g., recent New York) sort of dictates that place large populations at the sole mercy of the electrical grid with no robust backup. If the electricity goes out - recalling recent events in Texas here - do you leave everyone to freeze to death? In the near future, majority electric cars means you won't have any transportation either? Not so many years ago, as a teenager, I recall a hurricane knocking out the electricity for several days. At least back then we still had working gas-powered vehicles and landline telephones. Particularly with some of the bitter winters in Canada I worry for the safety and security of your average citizens that aren't prepping with emergency generators, fuel reserves, and whatnot, and I hope there's a stronger motivation behind this than some politician's virtue signalling environmentalist scorecard.
Am I exaggerating the risks?
