I mean if that's really a case of the electric grid not being maintained one can dance around it, oh if only I make sure to buy an gas stove the unmaintained grid won't fail today, but really one needs infrastructure investment to maintain the grid and while increased electricity use may put increased demands on it, it needs maintaining anyway (in some cases it is on private companies to maintain the grid and they didn't, such as PG&E).

And meanwhile natural gas (aka methane) which is the only alternative to electricity here has plenty of problems, like massive gas leaks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliso_Canyon_gas_leak
