European Energy Security Amid Blackmail, Dependency, and Dominance
Abstract
Europe’s energy security is being redrawn by shifting global power plays – from America’s energy dominance to China’s technological monopoly. Once considered tools of cooperation, energy resources and technologies are again being used for leverage. As the United States executes a unilateral energy agenda and China monopolizes clean tech supply chains, Europe faces a new wave of dependency risks. Germany must work with Europe to increase energy resilience while ensuring energy sovereignty and industrial competitiveness.
