When capitalism doesn't cut it.
- Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created an energy crisis in Europe and global energy markets will never be the same.
- The new world energy order will be defined by government intervention on a scale not seen in recent memory.
- European governments will have to work hard to avoid excessive government interventions in energy markets that might exacerbate the energy crises
Actually, the increasingly threatening effects of climate change were a more significant wakeup call than war, although historically war has justified increased government intrusion in the economy. Now the world is facing a dual threat, either of which could lead to extinction or at least mass culling of the population and realignment of the ecosystem.
The dual threat implies that the world's leaders are caught in a double-bind trying to address both at once. Climate change requires concerted action, while war places the highest priority on ramping up use of existing energy sources, which are chiefly carbon-based.
