So the war, boycotts and sanctions were for nil?

I understand that not everything can be easily transitioned to renewables, but my gosh when sanctions started I stupidly thought in addition to throwing money at the war effort, we would throw money into energy independence through solar, wind, and renewables. We didn't, of course, so now we're back to square one, minus so many lives needlessly taken.
