My comment wasn't meant ot be about California's weather, although ofc I see why you read that meaning. The US is producing a hug excess of natural gas, which it'd almost certainly keep onshore if Americans were at risk of freezing to death. If someone in the Eastern Sierras is freezing to death this winter due to lack of gas, then no one comes out of that scenario unscathed.
