That's not where most of the gas is going.

It would have been smart to invest in energy diversity before the war started. Too late for that now.

It is overwhelmingly used for heating, followed by boiling water and cooking. Please spend 5 minutes googling before throwing out baseless claims.

From the Highlights section in your link: "In 2019, households represented 26% of final energy consumption, or 17% of gross inland energy consumption, in the EU".

So 74% of consumption is not households. What am I missing?

I guess you also don't mind food shortages, as long as they don't affect you personally.

Would you turn off all the gas? Are there no other ways to light the metaphorical fire?

Isn't it interesting how you admit that the lives of so many depend on natural resources they don't control?
