The sheer quantity of Copium going around right now.
Look how hard it is to build a Gaming PC right now, because of Ram, just this little ol' Ram. Everything else in the pipe is stuck. Lots of smaller PC retailers going out of business or shedding stock with 0 margins, because MOST stock comes in on Borrowed Money.
NOW imagine the CORE, FUNDAMENTAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE has a giant 20% HOLE in it.
To fill it, you need 2.5x Russia.

You can magically end the conflict tomorrow, and turn everything back on, and you're still 4-5 years out before restoring energy flows, fixing broken distillation vessels, pipes, well heads.
But, BY THAT TIME, the industrial process would have Entirely Collapsed in the interim, and permanently shutter the machinery that That-Fuel once flowed into.
So, asssssuming you had the political will and economic WILL to turn the machinery back on, MORE LAG TIME, Another 4-5 years.
The Negative Reverberations will be felt for the next 100 Years.
Assummning' we don't bomb ourselves to death.
No one can come in and plug this. GLOBAL DEPRESSION = GUARANTEED
You're going to see them MESS with the NUMBERS, this will NOT change the underlying physical reality of horrific pull back in day to day life.
And this WHOLE TIME, NO ONE is even TALKING ABOUT 100% VEGGIE,
The SINGULAR SOLUTION to our EXTINCTION LVL Crisis via Climate Change.
