> problem is nobody knows exactly what is causing these fires

This sounds like a better place to start than legislating in the dark.

Depends if it's temporary or not. I dislike some regulations my country do, but one thing they're good at are temporary and local trials.

Ban it in densely populated areas, make testing mandatory in regular US suburban area, check in 6 month for results of testing. If the test change nothing, keep the ban and change the tests.

Kind of the new SE mentality of testing in prod.
