  "textContent": "\n\n\nIn his latest Quick Take, **Ian Bremmer** says the Iran war has left the global economy paying a steep price while delivering few of the outcomes the **Trump** administration promised. But it may have one unintended consequence: accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels.\n\n* * *\n\nIan argues that the focus has shifted away from Iran’s nuclear program and toward restoring normal traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy supplies. “This is the biggest problem for everyone around the world,” he says, pointing to the economic fallout from ongoing disruptions.\n\nDespite the turmoil, Ian sees a potential silver lining. The conflict has exposed just how vulnerable global energy chokepoints are to disruption from relatively small-scale attacks.\n\nAs a result, he argues, governments and markets are likely to double down on alternatives to oil and gas from electric vehicles and advanced batteries to renewables and nuclear power. In his view, the long-term effect could be to speed up an already underway shift toward a post-carbon energy system.",
