Just a few weeks ago there was a big power outage that lasted 24 hours because of a storm. I'm glad I have a gas stove because I could still cook and prevent food from spoiling. Making everything dependent on the power grid is just putting more strain on an already unreliable infrastructure.
I don't think politicians are thinking clearly about this. They seem to want net-zero energy at any cost, even if it means people will suffer. Meanwhile we can't control what other countries do so it might not even make a difference anyway.
