I hope countries (or rather, voters) around the world are waking up to just how helplessly dependent they are on a resource they do not own and have to beg and scrape from others.
The USA is a net exporter so technically if export restrictions are put up the Americans will likely be fine. The rest of the world, not so much. I live in Japan and I'm definitely worried about the rest of the year.
Do we have evidence of polls moving in favour of renewables?

They may end up believing they are being impacted, but many will still deny or argue the root cause.
