Energy Security: Crises (economic, geopolitical) expose the vulnerability of
dependence on fossil fuels. Alternative energy reduces the risks associated with
oil/gas prices and supplies.

Long-term Savings: Renewable energy sources (RES) are becoming
technologically cheaper. Solar and wind power plants pay for themselves faster than traditional energy infrastructure.

Stimulus for the Economy: Investments in “green” projects create jobs and drive
innovation, which helps to emerge from the crisis (example: post-COVID-19 recovery packages).

Climate Commitments: Even in a crisis, countries adhere to agreements (e.g., the
Paris Agreement) to avoid sanctions and loss of reputation. Example: In 2020–2022, the EU, as part of the “Green Deal” crisis plan, allocated €500+ billion to RES and hydrogen technologies to reduce dependence on Russian gas and accelerate the transition to carbon neutrality.
