I don't really have a position on the issue one way or the other, but it is insane how quickly this somewhat small issue (compared to stuff that everyone has been talking about for decades, like abortion) became part of the culture war, I already see "come and take it" memes being made.
In my experience it was nice being able to always heat food in a place that had somewhat shaky power.
my power is out due to a light rain plus american heavy duty infrastructure reliability? at least I can still cook on my stove
Yes, not everyone is connected to grid electricity.
