We have plenty of wood, go outside and see for yourself. We currently have very visible issues with the power grid, and as you’ve pointed out you’ve doubled every houses power demand.

Let’s look at what happened in TX, when the grid shut down. How will people charge their cars to leave the area? Maybe people used the gasoline engine in their car to provide heat.

TX has a mismanaged power grid with no interconnects to load share by choice, how does that apply to the rest of the US? CA’s problems aren’t demand driven.

I live in a state that gets almost its entire gasoline supply from a single pipeline (Colonial) that has burst or leaked and left us with mass shortages several times in the last decade.

Yet your problem is not nationwide, at least two states are having issues.
