  Decreasing gas consumption to save the environment, Great!  
  Decreasing because people can't afford it and just chose to freeze instead? Not so great.
context: One thing that stood out to me was how much Germany's gas consumption dropped in 2022:
  
  According to Bundesnetzagentur, Germany’s natural gas consumption dropped by 14% in 2022 compared to the average consumption for the past four years. Industrial demand fell by 15% compared to the average for the past four years. Between October and December, industrial gas consumption fell by 23%, and consumption by private consumers and businesses was 21% below the previous years. >
  
  German here, gas was just way too expensive for me this year, so we had to adapt... for my money's sake >
  
  How did you adapt? >
  
  Using less heating >
  
  As a Norwegian having visited most of Europe I'm amazed at the lack of modern climate adaption in houses. 
  Hopefully this will be a driver for Europe to modernize housing to enter the 21st century. >
  
  its almost impossible to get a heatpump installed right now or solar because the waiting list is so long (in germany).
  labor to install them and materials are scarce because the demand exploded. >
  
  Better insulation and windows is another thing. Will reduce energy needs both winter and summer. >
  
  As he said, labour rates are exploding. Unless you know how to change windows. >
  
  I do! I'll do it! ... For money >

  Define Irony leveraging Gas to make Europe fall in line. Europe starts not only buying gas from other sources but also starting to decrease gas consumption!
