They had better worry more about multiple megaton explosions in Moscow from multiple countries, if they try, ditto for UK tsunamis.

I fully agree, improving resiliency is a major benefit that doesn't get promoted to the extent it should. While new generation and storage gets quite a bit of attention, there should be incentives to decrease energy waste via better insulation, windows, and even design/layout for new builds. Passive building design should be promoted where feasible.IMHO domestic solar, wind and power storage should be encouraged for those who own their own homes and utility incentives structured to help this distributed form of power generation and storage to reduce the load on the main power grid and increase its, capacity, flexibility and resiliency. Most homeowners can generate a few kilowatts of power either by solar or wind and soon will be able to store hours or days' worth of that power while powering their own EV. No need to deliver as much power to a city when a lot of the homes in the suburbs are generating and storing most of their requirements while providing excess power and even storage capacity to the local city grid.

The Northbound thru-hikers on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) will start to shove off from San Diego in about 2 weeks for their 5-6 month hike from Mexico to Canada thru Cal/Ore/Wa. It's a dangerous trek on a good year(low snow/no fires). But Heavy snow for much of the trail and extreme water crossings will make the 2023 hike lethal at some points. This year will not be for the weak.Many don't even own a trusty snow shovel! I will be pandemonium, chaos in California.
Winter storm slams the West Coast, prompting rare blizzard warnings in Southern California
A slow-moving winter storm has struck the West Coast, flooding highways in Los Angeles and prompting rare blizzard warnings in Southern California.
In its first-ever blizzard warning, the National Weather Service in San Diego said the San Bernardino County mountains could see 3 to 5 feet of snow through Saturday morning.
Blizzard warnings were also issued for Los Angeles and Ventura counties through Saturday afternoon. Up to 5 feet of snow is possible with some isolated areas seeing between 7 and 8 feet.
“This storm system will be unusually cold, and snow levels will be very low. In fact, areas very close to the Pacific Coast and also into the interior valleys that are not accustomed to seeing snow, may see some accumulating snowfall,” the National Weather Service said early Friday.
