As a chef, the forced electrification of cooking apparatus is bad enough, but forced electrification of heating is just stupid, especially where the infrastructure is already in place for delivering the gas to individual homes.  Direct heating through combustion is more efficient than electric which has loss in power transmission and energy conversion, and Hydrogen can be substituted for NG as the huge amounts they project to come from electrolysis utilizing solar & wind generated juice arrive.  The grid is overwhelmed already with new demands from EVs & AI, adding heating demand to this just makes it even more impossible.

For folks heating their homes in Northern climates, I sure hope they have a backup of a wood/kerosene or propane fired system for the occasions the power goes out in the winter.  Nothing does a better job of taking out the power over wide areas for extended time than an Ice Storm.  Hurricanes  and Tornadoes are really only bad where they make landfall or touch down, ice storms can affect whole regions that go for 100s of miles as the right conditions move across the country.

Like everything else in the attempt to transition from FFs to carbon-free energy, political mandates are poorly thought out and generally unattainable.  If I was at all interested in trying to survive the necessary transition, my numero uno Prep would be a combo Wind/PV power generation system with an Electrolysis H generator and compressor for storage and H Fuel Cell for electricity generation as well as a rechargeable battery system for shorter term daily storage needs.  Then low power EV transport devices as well as a H powered ICE truck & tractor for heavy duty work applications.  I think you could put together everything for a small system for $100K, not including the heavy equipment which you would need to pick up old shit from junkyards and rebuild.  Nothing newer than maybe 1970ish on engine technology.  Absolutely NO computer controls.

For the vast majority of people who cannot afford such preps, I forsee a significant rise in finger and toe amputations after winter snowstorms in the big shities.
