I have more intel, I only saw it today but I think this is it.
I saw this video;

The problem is stated in this video, that people in US cities could be seriously impacted if the electricity grid goes down. Lets hope it doesn't.
People need to get a secure and safe form of heat and light now, and a way of cooking your food and making hot drinks. Many US cities have baned fireplaces.

I have these items (as I am a Prepper and I and my family used to go on wild camping vacations) and I can testify to their low cost of fuel.
A Storm Kelly kettle uses twigs to boil water, that can rehydrate meals in bags. Place on a concrete/cement paving slab and you can cook indoors. Collect twigs now.

Cobb bbq can be used indoors to cook roasts. It is used on small boats safely so indooors agin no problem. http://www.lakeland.co.uk/5024...Carry-Bag---Charcoal

Candle powered terracottta clay pot heater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzKbFzUEWkA  Have these just sitting aound? Well make a heater.

Get a Winter survival kit for your car. You can make a heater for your car out of an empty paint tin, a toilet roll and soaking it in rubbing alcohol. Just remember a lighter.
Make a tent out of duvets in one room.

For light; a wind up torch/flashlight won't run out of batteries. Candles always good but they willl run out at same time.
God bless and be safe.
