Energy Security

Description

Energy security is the curious ritual by which nations pray to oil and fear pipelines to preserve warmth and complacency. Entangled interests of energy sorcerers force citizens to choose between cozy rooms or shivering streets. When supplies falter, arrows of blame strike politicians while supplications become endless policy debates. It spawns perpetual energy wars and makes everyone a social martyr to power.

Definitions

• The modern religious creed of venerating tankers and pipelines to guarantee supply stability.
• A diplomatic art of seizing another’s energy while simultaneously executing punitive protection.
• A bureaucratic spectacle where ministries and corporations dance behind the scenes, stoking fear of blackouts.
• A conservative ritual that holds coal, oil and gas as holy scriptures and rejects the conversion to renewables.
• A compelling slogan championing diversification of sources, yet aiming to preserve existing vested interests.
• A dictatorial concept likening power flow to a nation’s lifeblood and strangling every alternative in fear of constriction.

• An astonishing management tactic turning volatile energy prices into political tools and using anxiety as fuel.
• A masked public works ball where environmental concerns and human rights are occasionally forgotten under the banner of securing supply.
