Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains how Energy has become the first and foremost world public concern in her Spectator article Energy is the most important issue in the world. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.
Gas prices are climbing, Russia is building pipelines, yet we’re focused instead on appeasing climate activists
One issue more than any other will dominate airtime and influence policy in 2022: energy.Americans are seeing the highest prices at the pump in seven years. Since Biden took office, average gas prices are up by more than $1 a gallon. In November, gas prices in Mono County, California hit more than $6 per gallon, forcing some residents to drive to Nevada (where gas taxes are lower) to buy fuel.

Installing a heat pump will require one in three homes to have an electricity upgrade, a power company has said.
Heat pumps and electric car chargers will mean a big increase in a household’s electricity demand, with many older properties requiring upgrades that can cost thousands of pounds, though most companies are planning to start “socialising” the cost by spreading it out among bills, says the Telegraph.
Western Power Distribution (WPD), which manages the electricity network for the Midlands, South Wales and the South West, said providing power to heat homes was one of the “biggest challenges” of the heat pump rollout.
