The green transition faces a literal energy drought. This press conference explores the collision of climate extremes and infrastructure, focusing on the phenomenon of Dunkelflauten (dark doldrums) where wind and solar fail simultaneously. From the choking impact of wildfire smoke on power grids to the survival strategies of modern cities, discover how science-driven policy must adapt to ensure a secure energy future.
