- The longer global energy systems remain tied to centralized fossil fuel infrastructure, the more they become high-value, low-resilience targets—economically and militarily—inviting escalation and systemic shocks.
- Markets alone won’t unwind that risk fast enough; without coordinated policy and investment, capital keeps flowing into assets that are profitable short-term but increasingly fragile under geopolitical stress.
- A rapid shift toward distributed, electrified, and renewable energy systems isn’t just climate policy anymore—it’s a hard security strategy aimed at reducing choke points, stabilizing supply, and lowering the incentive for conflict over fuel assets.
