Fossil fuel dependence is now a macroeconomic risk driving global inflation and eroding financial stability, says @andreassieber.bsky.social. The only route to long-term energy security and resilience is a renewable energy transition.

Recurring fossil fuel price shocks show reliance on fossil fuels is a systemic threat to financial stability. In contrast, renewable energy offers clean energy sovereignty at near-zero marginal costs, insulating economies from volatile "fossilflation" cycles.
