Seems related to this thread.  The U.S. alone has enough gas for itself for the next 100 years, and we produce a lot more than Russia.  A consequence of eliminating fossil fuels is a regression to a 1940s/1950s lifestyle.  https://www.worldometers.info/gas/gas-production-by-country/

Switzerland considers JAILING anyone who heats rooms above 19C for up to three years if the country is forced to ration gas due to Ukraine war
The country could also give fines of up to 3,000 Swiss Francs (£2,667)
In gas-heated buildings, water could not be heated to more than 60C (140F)
Radiant heaters would be banned and saunas and swimming pools would have to be cold
Likely that the proposed measures will be subject to challenges and disputes

Switzerland is considering jailing anyone who heats their rooms above 19C for up to three years if the country is forced to ration gas due to the Ukraine war. 

The country could also give fines to those who violate the proposed new regulations.

Speaking to Blick, Markus Sporndli, who is a spokesman for the Federal Department of Finance, explained that the rate for fines on a daily basis could start at 30 Swiss Francs (£26).

He added that the maximum fine could be up to 3,000 Swiss Francs (£2,667).

And companies who deliberately go over their gas quotas could face punishment.

Additionally, according to the potential measures, temperatures in gas-heated buildings can be no more than 19C (66.2F), with water heated up to 60C (140F).

Blick also reported that radiant heaters would not be allowed and saunas and swimming pools would have to stay cold.
