No, you see, politicians know how to engineer complex systems that provide critical infrastructure like energy than the stupid free market and actual engineers. This is why we need to rip out all natural gas appliances and replace with electric while simultaneously shutting down nuclear plants and cranking out solar and wind, and requiring all vehicles be EV by next Tuesday. These Great Leaders know what's best for us.

I'm looking forward to all the savings being reflected in my utility bill, and all the extra reliability.

... when power was out for a week, I had hot water, fireplaces (power did go out because it was freezing), and cooking. That's everything needed to get through a day without being inconvenienced much.

Once I spun up the genset, I had absolutely everything else. While the rest of the neighborhood looked like North Korea, my house looked like Christmas.
