Global energy instability driven by geopolitical tensions and corporate energy strategies

Scientific analysis of energy markets reveals that volatility is not only driven by geopolitical events but also by the physical and economic limits of fossil fuel extraction. Peak oil theory and climate science suggest that the current energy model is unsustainable and increasingly risky.
The current energy crisis is not merely a result of geopolitical events or corporate statements but is rooted in the systemic structures of global energy governance, corporate power, and historical patterns of extraction and exploitation.
Indigenous knowledge, scientific evidence, and cross-cultural perspectives reveal the limitations of the fossil fuel model and the need for a more just and sustainable energy transition. By integrating marginalized voices, strengthening international cooperation, and supporting local energy sovereignty, we can move toward a future where energy is a tool for empowerment rather than control.
