Shouldn't that be "War on Iran" and culprits should be clearly named - US and Israel. Thanks to them whole world now suffers higher prices. The only silver lining here is that some people might realize the dangerous fossil additions we have and actually start at least thinking of moving away.
Should read "US attack on Iran triggered....
I almost got hardcore triggered because I thought it said "Iran triggered.." Well, shockingly we have China to thank; yeah their government commits atrocities against their people - slavery, culture erasure, global infestation of trash products, microplastics, viral diseases and all that - but they are somehow managing to net zero the insane emissions caused by the manufacturing that the rest of the world demands of them, and they spawned a suitable replacement to Tesla; BYD. And it's been adopted massively, probably due to the widespread takeover of many countries' domestic businesses and shipping ports but still my point is those countries are fucking everything up and convincing petrol heads that fossil fuel is still a thing, and China is singlehandedly standing as a stark reminder that that is not the case.
I hope more oil crisises occur so we can finally transition away some of our reliance on it.
Iran war? You mean the Trump / Epstein files diversion?
Don't worry, they blockaded the blockade. Which should bring down fuel and fertilizer prices.
I'm all in for short term sucking if it accelerates the green transition. This timeline sucks anyway
I’m in the states and wondering when the shock will really hit us. I’m looking at local gas prices (Upstate NY) and they’re high; just not a sigh as I’d expect them to be. Certainly not high enough to curb demand in any meaningful way.
It's hurting local businesses more than regular people right now. Cabs and such need an extra $10-20 to fill up. Which is fine in the short run, cuz it'll go back down right?
cab companies in my city have a thing for raising fares moving forward. Was just on the local news.
the US is an oil exporter, so it shouldn’t be affecting us nearly as much. (Honestly probably why they started the war so oil companies can charge more.)
I mean we export because the oil we extract is not the type our refineries are built to make into gas. So we export what we extract and import what we need. That being said we mostly import from the americas but that being said asia is going to draw more oil from our sources when the straight has issues. We are certainly more steps out than europe. but its still a fungible commodity.
Expecting Europe to really get it late April, USA mid May.
part of it is they wer so low compared to everything else. When inflation hit a few years ago gas was hardly effected. Gas prices could have easily been 4-8 dollars near me and it would be about the same as prices were infaltion wise as the gulf war spike.
Right?! Dating myself here but I remember paying $4/gal in the mid-late 2000’s the last time we were bombing the Middle East and then had a “once in a lifetime” economic meltdown that has happened a half dozen times since I was born.
Adjusted for inflation, that’s $6.30/gal.
