Will those in the southern states cope? Could you switch?

Here in WA, the focus needs to be on getting the power grid under control. There is currently not enough gas power generation... resulting in dirty diesel generators being spun up.

Given the WA grid can't handle current power demands, I don't think we'll be in a position to disconnect household gas for quite some time ☹

Good point. They are gaslighting us about our home gas lighting habits being the co2 problem instead of their lack of gas lighting on the power grid.
