Unlike the 1970s oil crises, there are now better alternatives:
🔌 EVs + renewables + heat pumps could cut fossil fuel imports by 70%
🚗 EVs alone: $600bn/year in savings
Every country has the potential to be energy independent with electrotech.

Japan gets 95% of its oil via the Strait of Hormuz, making it highly vulnerable to disruption. It's now starting to release its national oil reserves.
EVs are a key lever for reducing oil import dependence. However, Japan lags behind in EV adoption.

Phasing out of Russian gas :
🇭🇺🇸🇰 voted against,
🇧🇬 abstained,
🇫🇷 voted in favour but made it clear that this is the last time it would agree to such a ban, which is akin to sanctions
Russian gas imports, both pipeline and LNG, displayed a significant decline in Q2 2025
↘️ 29% year-on-year
↘️ 9% quarter-on-quarter
