I don't expect the US to be dramatically affected by energy prices this winter (compared to Europe), due to, mainly: a) only a small percentage of our overall energy comes from Russia, and b) large parts of the US don't actually need heating in the winter.
I'm sure the energy companies will try and find a way to raise prices, though.

Texas jacked their prices up 30-50% last year, following the freeze and associated man-made crisis that transferred a ton of money to politically connected energy companies. It's expected to cost us something like $25B over the next decade or two (
