Energity insecurity leads to vulnerability, but it can be avoided by using renewables in decentralised power generation.
One of the lessons that countries are learning from the current war in Ukraine is that centralised power generation creates energy vulnerability, and therefore energy insecurity. In a despicable move against the civilians of Ukraine, Russia has targeted energy infrastructure.
