There’s nothing shortsighted about it. These shortages, supply issues, etc, are all part of the plan. First you establish the monopoly, then you do everything you can to exploit it’s loopholes. You can restrict or control the sun, or wind.
Plans for energy and transport sectors typically include rapid electrification and move to renwables, varying levels of nuclear, and a residual amount of fossiel fuel or biofuel. Combined with efficiency, sobriety in energy and resources uses.
There was so much delaying and lobbying against change, that avoding the worse now require accelerating change in basically every sector, because every sector is dependent in some way on fossiel fuels. No single person can understand and know all sectors at a deep level. Analysing this require large group of people with expert in different fields. For instance the IPCC and The Shift Project.
We can either prepare for a world without fossil fuels as quickly as possible or we can be completely unprepared when the next oil crisis comes along or we run out of oil all together.
Let’s not rush the transition to clean energy, it might disrupt part of the economy that need fossil fuel. /s
The world isn’t just paying for the US’ inability to honor the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. It’s paying for shortsightedness w-r-t energy and fossiel fuel.

Well go ahead and show us. Show us how human history up to 1859 was 100% renewable.
Show us how to support 8 billion people without fossil fuels.
8 billion people without fossil fuels and you think we’ll have exactly the same life and just magically switch to rainbows?
