As a $European, I can only be jealous. We were importing our natural gas from Russia. Fortunately it was a mild winter, so people got away with lots of extra layers and blankets.
The word "renewable" gets thrown around a lot to the point where you forget what it means. But it means a resource that you can renew: It doesn't run out, you don't need to depend on others, and best of all it doesn't need to be bought from a crazed homicidal neighboring nation.
