I'm somewhat surprised everyone everywhere isn't ripping out natural gas as quickly as they can, like folks are doing in Europe.

In Europe we've been having this gas issue due to the Ukraine war and associated sanctions over and back. Gas went really expensive. A lot of people were wearing extra sweaters and using extra blankets this winter to save money.

From this we've learned that being reliant on Things That Run Out is not a good idea at all.

For all that, it seems like the lesson was only local. I guess people really don't learn lessons vicariously. :-/
