The money that #oil companies accrued between the beginning of April & the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. #Gasoline, #diesel & #JetFuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers & airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic #fuel #rationing in Australia & government office closures in Nepal & Sri Lanka. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #affordability #energy

#Trump warned Wednesday that the #US will destroy one bridge or power plant each time #Iran shoots at a ship in the #StraitOfHormuz. Trump’s latest threat to target #civilian #infrastructure came as the unpopular war spirals with no clear offramp, threatening further worldwide economic disruption & sending #fuel #prices up ahead of the #midterms this fall. #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #law #Congress #WarPowers #IranWar

However, conditions in #Cuba have deteriorated since January, after U.S. #President Donald #Trump imposed new #fuel #restrictions on the island, exacerbating an already chronic shortage.

It's all very well to ask people to catch public transport to work if they can in the name of bolstering fuel security, but if you're a parent with kids who need transport, or have a busy, multi-stops in a day life (and I'm not talking trades, just regular office workers with actual lives), it's not very practical.

The big miss here is that what the PM should have done is put the pressure on businesses, not individuals. Businesses that have people who can work from home should have been told in no uncertain terms to make that happen. We already know it's doable and pretty much every business that can, has the infrastructure in place now.

We'd emailed the wonderful Liam of https://www.midlandsandcoast.co.uk/ to try to sort out a #coal delivery to #ourplace which fronts the #towpath of the #Bridgewater #Canal. I took a photo of his #boat last time we got #fuel from him. It's based the same distance on one side of #PrestonBrook #bridge as we are the other. This time I needed an emergency supply. He gave me a bag, lent me a barrow to carry it home and said he'd invoice me when he delivered all we have room to store. As I collected the fuel the sun came out to reveal The Midlands & Coast Canal Carriers Ltd yard in all its glory.
