US blocks Strait of Hormuz

The Hormuz debacle has given renewables a boost, author Carina Cockrell-Ferre explains on Facebook:

“Trump has accelerated the transition to renewable energy in a way that is scarcely measurable; it is no longer just an obsession of the Greens but an urgent necessity that impacts everyone financially, right here and now. … The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened, but the whole affair will leave a bitter aftertaste. In the West and the East alike, it has become clear to practically everyone that we must seek alternatives, switch to renewable energy sources – and put an end to energy blackmailing! It’s not so easy to do with renewables. They don’t require tankers, straits, convoys, pipelines, etc.”
