Scientific assessments of energy security increasingly emphasize the need for diversification and resilience. The Hormuz disruption highlights the vulnerability of single-source energy systems, reinforcing the urgency of transitioning to decentralized, renewable energy networks.
India's recent oil stockpiling amid Hormuz disruptions is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a deeply flawed global energy system shaped by colonial legacies and corporate interests.
Indigenous knowledge systems and cross-cultural energy models offer alternative pathways rooted in sustainability and equity. By integrating scientific foresight, artistic and spiritual values, and the voices of marginalized communities, India can transition toward a more resilient and just energy future. Regional cooperation and investment in renewables are essential to breaking free from the extractive logic of fossil fuels and building a system that serves both people and the planet.
