SORE 2021 will cause extreme hardships on people who depend upon
generators during the power grid shutoffs.  People need generators
to refrigerate their medications, operate their medical equipment,
and for heating and cooling during extreme temperatures.
Electric chainsaws will not work for tree clearance during and
after wildfires--they are underpowered and have short battery
life.
Cutting trees down before and during wildfires saves lives in
preventing fire spread.
Electric boat motors are inefficient and not compatible with the
needs of emergency response, they will also leave people stranded
in lakes, rivers, and oceans when the batteries expire.
Electric batteries are detrimental to the environment, e.g., they
leave toxic elements in landfills, the strip mining involved in
procuring the materials for the batteries decimates the land, they
catch fires that can't be extinguished.
