A few days without
power won't kill many people.

 
It will in the UK if all the 'phones need mains power (either at the
subscribers' premises or at the masts).  Nobody will be able to call out
the emergency services.  How many deaths per day will that be if  nobody
can contact the police, fire brigade or ambulance service?

 
Even politicians can be relied on to be less stupid than that.
