If anything can be learnt here it is

A.) that many things cannot be easily foreseen which includes record draughts and the Ukraine conflict.

B.) It makes sense to have a diversified energy mix where no single source is used predominantly.

I don't know. These record draughts are directly tied to climate change and I have known since the 90's that the Pentagon and the UN knew climate change would bring wars, population displacement et resources problems. I think that's where we are.

Droughts (lack of rain) in case others don't understand the typo.

You think that the war in Ukraine was caused by climate change? Can you expand on that?
