Every time governments respond to oil crises, they seek short-term solutions but fail to invest in longer-term energy security measures, and then become complacent when crisis passes, repeating the cycle with next crisis requiring similar emergency responses.

Jason BourdoffEvidence Quote
“every time we have an oil crisis we look for what we get scrambled to see what can we do today and the answer is not much and if we had done the thing last time that would have made us more resilient today we'd be less oil dependent in the first place and then as soon as the crisis passes we become complacent”
