We are having some gas supply issues here in eastern europe. But the good thing is that after these troubles, companies, industries may finally realize that they can not depend on gas. This could force them to look towards alternative energy, and alternative systems for heating. There are many options, from ground heating pumps to thermal energy, which seems to be plenty of available in Slovakia. Trouble is that till now everybody was very content with russian gas and nobody looked ahead. Clever leap towards alternative sources would be a good move. Imagine a world powered completely with renewables. Production halls covered with structure changing glass which would absorb sun heating in the winter and reflect light in the summer. Homes powered with heating pumps or ground thermal source.
Definitely there are many options to go. We should start making first step.
