IEA chief warns energy is becoming a geopolitical weapon

I think if we have a harsh winter, we may see higher prices of natural gas in Europe. This is a big worry, and it is so that we don't have any flexibility. Nothing should go wrong in order to be able to go through this winter from a gas market point of view. The entire world is facing this problem, including Europe, And I hope that the things in the Middle East is going to be much better than it is. There is a ceasefire and peace among the parties. But if it is not the case, I don't see a credible pathway that we go back to where we were before the war has started. I think the energy has been always weaponized. people use for their own particular purposes all the time but I have never ever seen the the dark and long shadow of geopolitics so much dominant in the energy sector we have the world has gone through many difficult periods but this is the worst in terms of the geopolitics is dominating the energy game energy is not currently considered as a business but a political leverage. This is energy man, this worries me. World leaders, how do they think and we said all the time we have to diversify. It might not be like this a war but it could be even a natural disaster could block the how should I say this straight and the fate of the global economy hinges on one small state. This is Because really, when you think about it, it's not very logic. I am really disappointed that the government didn't take the necessary measures.
