Incorrect. They are trying to stop electricity being produced in a
certain way. That is very different to your assertion.

Well I bet many of them have freezers. OK, then, they won't be able to boil
water with an electric kettle to make tea.

I have been in buildings not connected to an external electricity
supply. The electric kettle works perfectly well, using electricity
generated from a variety of sources, stored in a battery and then
converted to 230V AC using an inverter.

They won't be able to watch their videos or communicate via the internet either.

The same buildings have had video/DVD equipment, display screens and
computers connected to Internet.
