Blowing up the market means competing with the energy providers. Sounds like a good thing.
Stockpiles of fuel will be worthless after an EMP attack.
The possibility of EMP attack is not far fetched and the feds know it (well some of them do). They dither while Rome burns.
Also, the increasing centralization of the power grid makes it very vulnerable regardless of full stockpiles.
Neither of these more immediate weaknesses are being addressed. Heads in the sand, hoping nothing happens.
