As the wind subsides and the sky turns an unbroken shade of gray, a quiet stillness blankets the landscape. It’s not the kind of peace that brings comfort, but rather one that signals a looming challenge. Across fields where turbines once turned and rooftops where panels basked in the sun, this stillness reveals the fragility of modern energy systems. A single word—Dunkelflaute—captures this unsettling phenomenon, one that Germany and its neighbors now know all too well. Yet this moment of vulnerability is not isolated to one nation; it serves as a microcosm of a global reckoning with energy dependency, resilience, and sustainability.
