The way the Washington Post ran a similar article a week ago.
Utilities could (and should) have started planning for this years ago, as increased electric use was pretty much inevitable as one of the key parts of decarbonization is to electrify everything.
Absolute best bet is governments use up all reserves over a few hundred years keeping us at a sane threshold (please don't yell at me we are past that, not my point). Very few countries ate going to keep anything beyond some strategic reserves. Expecting global altruism like that isn't going to happen in the time frame it would need to happen. Shits going to be cataclysmic before the general population is really willing to change.
