No, the biggest issue is that electrical power is not (easily) available everywhere (think "wherever you camp") and always (think "earthquakes and hurricanes"). But I can carry or find gas/oil/coal/wood almost anywhere. How many trash fires in the inner city of Chicago on a cold night? There are always political signs, trash, and/or wood from buildings available to burn. Nothing like warming your hands by a barrel fire with a bunch of friends!

That's the power company irradiating you nads, lowering your fertility and reducing the population. Welcome to a Brave New World!
Man has cooked with fire for aeons and a few pieces of coal from the nearby railroad track do wonders to keep the nights warm on my lean-to campfire here in CA. I'll give up my coal when they pry the lumps from my cold dead hands.
