You will. We had an ice storm in the northeast about a decade ago. Temperature didn’t go above 16 for a week. We used our little generator for the pellet stove and a few lights. People made soup from the food in the fridge and freezer on their gas grills. We put sleeping bags on top on every bed. We showered at the local planet fitness. They offered to members and their families. The hardest part was no water.
Well, yes and no. The NG plants are having a hard time with supply, lots of houses use NG, so there is a resource constraint issue. Not sure how many coal plants we have but given this winter, coal may be in short supply too. Had we built nuke plants, this would not be an issue. The wind/solar problem is that it is inherent in the design that winter weather takes them offline.

Why wouldn’t they?

There's issues with all power plants, including fossil fuel ones? oof

96 hours or so and we push and stay above freezing.
