Most of the planet is not "winter in northern latitudes"

Indeed, most of the world is rather sunny and "not" located in "northern latitudes"

Most of the planet, most of the people are not in the Arctic. Brief search indicates 4 million, globally. You could have people in the Arctic powering their homes with peat or lignite and it wouldn't be a huge problem. Happily NG is better for this, and the rest of the world has fewer problems with solar seasonality.
