Completely agreed. People cannot look at this like “well, that’s the end of the problem”. This buys TIME. I may be OK in my lifetime but the grandchildren of many people here won’t be. Furthermore, I believe that people 200 years from now will wonder how we could have been so stupid as to burn or explode such a useful product. It still blows my mind that people in the NE still warm their homes with OIL in the winter (nowhere else in the developed world is this done). And, you can bet that they vote for the Dems.
What do they use? Gas? We get most of our heat from a pellet stove and use oil for hot water heating and supplementing the pellet stove on ten-degree winter nights.
This buys TIME.

I’ve been reading articles about how a lot of these houses are being converted to natural gas—for the same reason as trains trucks and buses. to take advantage of the the cheaper fuel.
I also think that natural gas buys time.
Basically for a successful 21st century new sources of energy have to be found that collapse the cost of energy and make it orders of magnitude more plentiful and easier to access everywhere.
