Tbf most modern fossile fuel heating systems require power as well to some degree.
I think going forward we will have a much more decentralised power grid, as in people will have batteries to store a significant amount of power which they produce via solar panels on top of their houses. Also many electric cars today can be used as power storage.
Too bad governments are not promoting Household Solar Systems for a decentralized grid
While I am generally in favour of a strong government: Does Politics have to dictate everything?
