Despite significant investments in wind and solar energy, the world continues to experience oil shocks, highlighting a disconnect between renewable energy deployment and oil market stability. Several factors contribute to this issue. First, the intermittent nature of wind and solar power requires backup systems, often powered by fossil fuels, which limits their ability to fully displace oil demand. Second, the transportation sector, a major consumer of oil, has been slow to transition to electric vehicles. Finally, geopolitical factors and supply disruptions can still trigger oil price spikes, regardless of renewable energy capacity.
