The recent geopolitical escalation involving Iran is a loud wake-up call for the global energy market. We are once again watching oil prices surge and hearing whispers of potential fuel shortages because our energy grid is tied to one of the most volatile regions on the planet. Relying on foreign oil is a massive economic and national security vulnerability. Every time a conflict breaks out, everyday citizens pay the price at the pump while global markets panic. It is past time we aggressively pivot towards true energy independence. Whether that means heavily investing in domestic renewable energy sources like solar and wind, or expanding our own domestic production in the short term, the status quo is completely unsustainable. We cannot keep holding our economy hostage to overseas conflicts. #politics #energy #security https://thoxt.com/l/FPiqk1 🔗
