From Backyard Battles to Geopolitical Wins: Rewriting the Narrative for Energy Security

Every delayed wind turbine or blocked transmission line is a victory for those who exploit Europe’s energy vulnerabilities. This session dissects the geopolitical cost of local inaction, asking: If renewables and grid expansion were treated as critical security infrastructure, could we finally outmaneuver adversaries like Russia? The debate will focus on bridging the gap between global energy strategy and on-the-ground acceptance.
