  Increased demand for electricity is already outpacing increase in supply. The queue for new connections to the national grid has reached 29 GW (equivalent to 15 million homes or 300 data centres), and that is growing nearly three times faster than capacity. Headroom won’t exist by 2030 to allow sudden mass replacenent of gas for heating and cooking.

    You should build more electric capacity then. I believe that falls into “do anything” category.
