"Oil and gas prices are shooting up as war in the Middle East cuts down the
supply of fossil fuels available, in what has been described as “the largest
supply disruption in the history of oil markets”.
There have been several major upheavals in energy markets since 2020, including
the COVID pandemic, Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine, and US President Donald
Trump’s trade and tariff war with much of the world.
What now? The closest historical comparison may be to the oil shock of the
1970s, which prompted significant moves by governments around the world to
reduce the demand for fossil fuels.
This time around, things are different: relatively cheap, widely available
renewable energy technology means not only governments but also companies and
individuals can reduce their own reliance on fossil fuels, permanently."
