Touché!

Here, with the war in Ukraine active soon-to-be for half a year, the world is still waiting for Russia to collapse under the consequences of that decision.
Instead consumer prices exploded around the world, certain goods have become even rarer than before after the slight relief of the global economy from Covid-19, and food supplies and heating have become not safe (the latter - let alone how much it will cost in the end and if you can afford it, if your wallet’s budget is tight).

May it not be that the community of the so-called “Western states” miscalculated in a very high degree in this issue?

That's because, currently, we have fuel. We are in the process, of going too electric.

Hm, okay, maybe the US has a different starting point in that (in general or selected states of them).

Though, covering it all with electricity is not going to solve that problem in the long term.
First, as the worldwide atomic industry depends on Russian fuel rods, and second - because all electricity has to be generated first in order to consume it.
And in that point, the US is worse off than Europe in terms of renewable energies, so they can expected to generate that energy via fossil energy carriers. Ending up needing gas, natural gas, old and coal even though.

And, speaking from the side of technical aspects - if wanting to do the same with electric energy as you did by using fossil fuels, you've got to generate a lot of electric energy to make it that far. There's so much energy pressed and conserved in just a few bits of fossil energy carriers, it's insane!
If wanting to do heating with it, it's the worst. 'Cause heat is actually just a side effect of consumption of electric energy. Something which you cannot avoid to produce along with using it.
And all electrical circles don't really like heat.
So, using them to generate it intentionally this way is actually rather harmful to the media you use for producing the product.
