About this, it is not going to the winter all over the world at the same time. Bitcoin is not even mainly mined in Europe, and it is going to be mined anyway in other places while it is winter in Europe and Europeans are living their gas crisis with Russia.

Besides that, more than 50% of the hash rate comes from renewable sources. Even if there was suddenly no electricity provided for the ASICs, the network would continue working (it'd harm, but it wouldn't kill it).

The article even explains it costs him more money than using natural gas for heating.

It really depends on a lot of things. The price of electricity, the price of bitcoin, the possible taxes on both the bitcoin and the natural gas, etc. Currently, it's even less profitable to mine bitcoin with this difficulty, so less incentive either.
