Trump's Iran war exposes fragility of fossil fuel dependence

Original: Trump the environmentalist? How his Iran war exposed the fragility of dirty energy

The Guardian argues that the fallout from the US conflict with Iran has revealed how vulnerable global economies remain to oil supply shocks, despite years of talk about renewables. The piece suggests military escalation around the Persian Gulf did more to highlight the case for clean energy than any climate advocacy, prompting debate over whether instability in dirty energy markets could accelerate the transition.

Why now: Renewed fears of oil supply disruption from conflict in the Middle East have revived debate about energy security and the shift to renewables.
