That’s not how economics works. If one source of electricity becomes scarce, that means it’s more expensive, so people will switch to cheaper alternatives.
I would have thought that those ‘cheaper alternatives’ could still be more expensive than the initial cost of the original source of electricity...? In which case losing that original source of electricity could still bite pretty hard (albeit maybe not to the extent of being an existential risk).
