Energy transition shifts rather than ends resource dependency, Pictet chart argues
Original: The # energy transition does not eliminate dependency – it transforms its nature, chart @PictetAM
A chart shared by Pictet Asset Management makes the case that moving from fossil fuels to renewables does not end resource dependence but changes its form: from oil and gas to the critical minerals, rare earths and supply chains needed for batteries, solar panels and wind turbines. Commentators are using it to argue that energy security concerns will persist through the transition, only with new geopolitical chokepoints.
Why now: Ongoing debate about critical mineral supply chains and whether renewables truly deliver energy independence.
