Stock vs flow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_and_flow

Solar panels and batteries are a stock. Oil is a flow. This leads to a very different dependency situation.

If you're concerned about energy sovereignty, just buy more solar panels now. If you're still concerned, buy even more. Keep buying them until you're not concerned anymore.
