12. Supply Chain Disruptions
Geopolitical tensions and highly concentrated mineral resources raise fears of supply chain disruptions. Stability is needed to expanding wind fleets without installation cost spiking, so more domestic production and resilient supply chains are key.

Comments
Wind farms in Germany & Ukraine have been attacked by hackers targeting control systems, while rampant online disinformation erodes public trust. Solutions are there, but complex to implement due to the globalised & connected infrastructure.
Lengthy and complex permitting processes delay wind projects worldwide & are Europe's biggest problem. Streamlining regulations and reviews, and assigning priority zones can cut wait times, boosting deployment.
