  6. @thejapantimes I admit that I saw this coming and I've stocked up on a 3 year supply of bin liners ("trash bags" to merkins).

  12. It's not time to despair and freak out. We can survive the oil crisis and the ensuing famine, and we can build a better society.

    But the longer we stay in denial, the harder each of those will be.

  13. When you read about the oil crisis & the coming famine—if you read about it at all—your brain might be saying "Well, it can't be THAT bad, or everyone would be talking about it."

    You want to downplay it, because other people are downplaying it, and surely everyone can't be so wrong about something so massive?!

    So the voices that are clearly outlining the horrific scenarios we'll be facing in the coming months seem like hypochondriac fearmongers.

  14. To get rid of fuel subsidies we must change the way we live and structure our cities.

    I made a very conscious choice of living in a 15-minuye city. Just a five to ten minutes walk from my apartment is a row of shophouses that had everything I need to live - from supermarkets to restaurants and cafes to even dentists, clinics and a hardware shop. I can stay in this radius and live well. If I want to travel further, a 15-min walk away is a train station, and if I walk a little further another station. I can take this light rail to visit my parents who live a few stations away and heck even my brother lives a few stations away. If I want to go to a hypermarket I just need to hop on the train and get there.

    On top of that I work remotely. If I need to go to the office in KL, I take the light rail too.

    As a result, I can stretch a full tank ⛽ for two months.

    Towns like mine do exist in malaysia, but oddly suburb-like towns are getting de riguer especially among the monied. But I don't think I will want to live so car dependently. More towns need to be built like mine.

    PS: As I know some folks would prob wanna discuss the subsidies with me. Do read first about how Malaysia's oil subsidies are different than those implemented in some Western countries. In Malaysia these subsidies are considered a social contract of sorts; free market economics etc isn't something we adhere to religiously.

  17. “Most EU governments are failing to target fuel duty cuts and other energy price support at only the most vulnerable consumers, the IMF said…

    Two-thirds of government subsidies and tax cuts across the EU aimed at alleviating the energy crisis have been untargeted”

    —> The result is higher cost, helping the rich more than the poor; and tax cuts won’t open Hormuz either

  18. African hand crafted e-bikes being as response to another fuel crisis was not on my 2026 bingo card. I am happy people try to figure out how to continue despite it all youtube.com/watch?v=OBoNsdPIt9Q #Ebikes #renewables #OilCrisis

  19. Brent at $120 sounds dramatic. The real story? Asian spot buyers are paying $210–$286/barrel for physical crude they can actually touch. That gap between paper futures and physical barrels has no modern precedent.

    The Strait of Hormuz is effectively locked down — 91% drop in transits. The SPR is draining fast. $CL=F

  20. Malaysians receive fuel subsidies. Without it, our petrol would be 2x more due to the #iranwar #oilcrisis .
    I paid RM35 for 17.5l of oil which is roughly about US$9.
    Because I designed life in such a way that most of my needs are a walk away, which includes clinics, supermarkets and the light rail, I use the car to drive short distances (around 6km or less) a few times a week. I also drive a fuel efficient car.
    The last time I pumped petrol was on March 25 and I still had a 1/4 tank left on May 3. So, basically I can make RM50 of fuel last me nearly two months.

  21. @EdwinG

    So, any MAGA / Trump-voter types out there, if you just had your long-held summer vacation flights cancelled out from under you, have fun booking new tickets now that ticket prices have doubled due to inflated fuel costs because Dipshit Donnie started the next forever war in the middle east. At least you know who to blame!

    To any sane people out there also affected by this, you have my empathy.

  22. The US-Iran conflict has triggered the largest oil supply shock in modern history — 15M bpd removed from markets, the Strait of Hormuz closed, and the US effectively replacing OPEC as swing producer. Consumer economies are absorbing the damage.

  26. With the world depending on the Gulf for fertiliser:

    “the World Food Programme has estimated that an additional 45mn individuals will be pushed into acute hunger as a result of the [Iran] war, with about two-thirds of these people located in Africa.”
