Houses would be more comfortable if they could not lose power.

I wonder why we don’t make them that way?

Because it would require really large woodpiles outside (sort of okay here, but not in the desert)?

Don't get me started on "Net-Zero Energy" buildings (though we might be able to get there; these still rely heavily upon the grid).

Or we could rewind to when houses didn't have power. Not too comfortable in the PNW, and probably even less in MD.
