The war in Iran disrupted oil markets and pushed Brent crude above $126 per barrel.

The Strait of Hormuz funnels at least 20% of seaborne oil, creating a strategic chokepoint for fuel shipments.

Renewables now produce electricity at lower costs than fossil fuels and 92% of installed capacity is cheaper than fossil alternatives.

Expanding domestic renewables and recycling critical materials can reduce exposure to geopolitical fuel shocks.
