I would be agreeable to this if it actually became the discourse of conversation (among the public at least. You've probably talked about it at length), but at the moment, everyone is focused on what not to do rather than what to do. We're too focused on "ban this", "stop doing that", "we need to cancel that", with no "do this instead".
Replacing fossil fuels with renewables in response to this Ukraine crisis and its sanctions is being talked about among the public, not just with me. Environmentalists like Bill McKibben are talking about it, and other organizations that send me email are talking about it. The Europeans are talking about it, and President Biden talked about it in his recent speech to the nation. I'm sure it needs to be talked about more. But whether it is or not, by whoever, it IS the need.
