I wonder if this, along with the Texas winter crisis, will make people further get into off-grid, self-sufficient & all electric systems. Most houses in the US have enough roof estate to put enough solar panels to keep a daily car charged up. Add more panels, large energy storage and more efficient heating/cooling systems, and you might be able to run your house for some hours in an emergency.
