Time after time after time we get these 'emergencies' that demonstrate why we need to move towards electricity and away from oil. We keep hearing, as another said, that a given solution would take 10+ years to implement (like building a batch of nuke plants to build up our electrical infrastructure so we could use more electricity for more things, including transportation which is an economic lifeblood).
I heard it in 1973 and I'm hearing it now almost 40 years later.
