All the steps towards a renewable economy, all the attempts to stop global overheating have not yielded any serious results.
The Strait of Hormuz is like the planet’s “carotid artery” – when it is blocked, the whole world instantly feels an economic shock. It reminds us that although we talk a lot about a green future, our everyday life still revolves around oil tankers.
The main reasons why progress is so slow:
Infrastructure inertia: Global logistics, industry and heating systems have been built for decades specifically for fossil fuels. Replacing them requires not only desire, but also huge investments and time.
Energy security vs. sustainability: In times of crisis, countries often return to “safe” fossil fuels to avoid social unrest due to rising prices.
Dependence on supply chains: Even with the transition to renewable energy, new dependencies are emerging – on the production of rare metals and technologies (for example, in China).
The situation in Hormuz is not only a geopolitical problem, but also a painful reality check, showing how fragile the current energy model is.
