I hear it gets cold in New England during the winter months, without electricity I imagine a lot of people in New England will have a miserable winter over the next few years.
Freezing to death in the dark is a small price to pay for an imaginary benefit!
New Hampshire and Vermont got a foot of snow a couple of days ago.
You get one really miserable winter. After that it doesn’t matter, except to the people who have to dig the holes in the spring...
