seize the means of production
There are times where storms are so bad here that power is out for a considerable amount of time and it’s brutally cold. Relying on electric is a non starter, people would literally die from exposure.
For most of the country it’s fine, but not for places that get deadly cold.
Wood furnaces are nice but not every place has one. My place does not.
How cold is your place relative to Murmansk, Yakutsk or Oymyakon?
I don’t know how cold those places are but I live in VT in the mountains where it does go down to -20F on the regular and -40 occasionally.
See climate sections of Murmansk, Yakutsk and Oymyakon.
VT is often colder than murmansk but less cold than the other two cities listed. Note the freedom units: -40 is the same as metric but -20F is more like -30C. Apparently -20C is only -4F? Which is not that cold but a common temp in VT.
