How Should Our Energy Strategy Directing Our Future Be?
With large-scale cyber-attacks, electricity can be completely cut off. Imagine that the electricity in Ankara is suddenly cut off by a cyber attack and there is no energy for a long time. Generators and batteries only go so far.
Today, energy is the most necessary and indispensable for humanity.
The need for energy is increasing in the developing world. The tools and devices we use need energy. Energy is the raw material of technology. Sometimes we forget without realising that the phone in our hand, the television we watch, the tools we use and even the electric vehicles we use will not work without energy. The future of the whole world depends on energy and the real reason for the wars in the world today is to have energy.
In the next ten years, this demand will increase in the world, because technology is developing day by day and the demand for energy is increasing. Perhaps fifteen years from now, wars will be fought with cyber attacks and the first target will be energy production facilities and transmission lines. With large-scale cyber-attacks, electricity can be completely cut off. Imagine that the electricity in Ankara is suddenly cut off by a cyber attack and there is no energy for a long time. Generators and batteries only go so far. Your phone will run out of charge, communication will stop, traffic will turn upside down. In short, life would be paralysed.
This situation will happen one day. Maybe not in Ankara, but maybe somewhere else.
Measures should be taken for this, strategic state institutions should be prepared for such a situation.
I have thought a lot about the possibility of such a situation. If a power plant is attacked, the region that this power plant feeds will be left without energy. I thought a lot about what we should do to avoid such a situation.
We should build local power plants. Independent from district to district, from province to province, and with sufficient capacity. We should even hide these power plants. I thought a lot about this situation.
And..;
I made a project for an energy production plant that produces its own raw materials and whose small amount of waste will be used in the health sector. Let's build these plants with enough capacity for every district, every province and cancel the transmission lines. Let's build these facilities under strategic state institutions, underground under the mountains. Let's guarantee our future in terms of energy. Let's not stay in the dark.
If you want, sit calmly now and imagine that there is no electricity in your life for 72 hours and what you will do if there is no electricity.
