""I'd love to be able to work from home. I literally don't have any choice but to work onsite. I have to bring all my tools to site and we go to multiple sites a day - so I can't take public transport or ride a bike either.""
""This crisis, as it stands now, [is] two oil crises and one gas crash put all together," Birol told the National Press Club on Monday."
""My last fill was around $130 for 50 litres. I can't afford an electric car either - and I don't have anywhere to charge it, being a renter.""
The IEA has recommended working from home, using public transport, and reducing highway speeds to address fuel shortages. However, many workers, like carpentry apprentice Jordan Mulvaney, cannot work from home due to job requirements. Mulvaney drives to multiple job sites daily, making public transport impractical. He faces high fuel costs and cannot afford an electric vehicle. Energy Minister Chris Bowen supports the IEA's recommendations, which are based on past experiences in Europe during crises. The current fuel crisis is described as more severe than previous oil and gas crises combined.
