"The International Energy Agency (IEA) has called for actions such as flying less and driving slower to mitigate the impact of rising fuel prices and supply shortages."
"The US administration has doubled down on oil investments as the Iran war sends prices soaring, continuing its 'drill, baby, drill' policy while blocking renewable projects."
"The UK has encouraged people to stay calm as fuel prices rise, steering clear of calls to curb demand and limiting its action to financial support for heating."
"Donald Trump criticized allies for not joining the campaign against Iran, urging them to buy oil from the US before seeking alternatives."
Shrinking fuel stocks and rising prices are forcing countries to adopt emergency measures like burning coal, rationing fuel, and shortening work weeks. The war against Iran has disrupted oil supplies, particularly through the strait of Hormuz. The International Energy Agency has urged actions to reduce fuel consumption. The US has threatened further attacks on Iranian oil infrastructure while continuing to expand fossil fuel production. Other countries like the UK are providing limited financial support without significant demand reduction measures.
