biggest #oil supply disruption in history.
and beneath it all, in the discomfort of the of the physical need, there is one single thing initiated the future that was and literally fueled to this day that no one is willing to envision, depict, think about. its discovery is the most shocking, traumatizing thing to ever happen to humanity. it made humanity what it is today, and it will break humanity as it is today. and we do not want to see it, we do not want to talk about it.

But urgency is not nearly as great as we feared when the Hormuz crisis began.
The story isn't that the disruption wasn't real.
It's that adaptation has been far greater than expected.

The US–Israel war on Iran is driving up fuel, food and transport costs, exposing how dangerously dependent we still are on oil and gas.
Here are six radical, practical ideas to protect people from the Iran energy shock and finally break that dependence 👇

One hundred days after the US and Israel attacked Iran, tens of millions of people are still paying for a crisis they did not choose through higher fuel, food and transport costs. This chaos is the predictable result of fossil fuel dependency.Mehdi Leman (Greenpeace International)
The fuel crisis is expanding in Russia.
Locals say the whole of Russia's South is experiencing acute shortages, and in Makhachkala, Dagestan, a lot of gas stations have been closed down.

Andrii Klymenko, editor-in-chief of BlackSeaNews:
Regarding the impact of Ukrainian strikes on Tuapse: 50 days without tanker traffic.
We can state with confidence that the last tanker departures from the port took place on April 1, April 4, and April 17, 2026. Since then, and up to the present moment, no tanker voyages have been recorded for a period of 50 days.

Jeff Currie argues that the world is drifting toward the largest commodity shock since COVID. Yet market prices suggest that traders still view the Hormuz crisis as a temporary geopolitical scare rather than the kind of physical supply disruption cap…Art Berman
A compilation of videos from the Grushovaya oil depot in the Russian Caucasus.
Through this oil depot, Russian oil gets to Sheskharis export terminal.
The fewer oil tanks that remain intact there, the less Russian oil will be available for export and earning money to wage the war against Ukraine.

Oil prices rose by more than $3 per barrel following new strikes in Lebanon and Iran
Brent crude futures climbed $3.20, or 3.39%, to $96.24 per barrel, while U.S. WTI crude futures rose $2.87, or 3.17%, to $93.41 per barrel.
The increase fully offset Friday’s losses, when prices fell amid expectations of a de-escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran

Russia threatens to rip up a natural gas deal with Armenia over its EU ambitions.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned on Wednesday that Russia is prepared to unilaterally cancel a 2013 bilateral agreement that guarantees Armenia duty-free deliveries of natural gas, petroleum products and rough diamonds, if authorities in Yerevan continue to pursue closer ties with the European Union.

"Overall, the uncertainty in these long-term forecasts is enormous. And if history is any guide, the errors are not random. They usually point in the same direction: they overestimate the cost of the energy transition."
Hopefully, the current crises in Europe and the Middle East accelerate the transition away from #oil #gas and drive up innovation while reducing cost rapidly.

Okay, if this is real, this is worse than I was expecting. I've been thinking about secondary outputs but I've been thinking way more about plastics, inks, other secondaries.
I have been worried about products shortages but maybe not enough. I am and have been assuming that there will be preferential distribution to corporations (which obviously includes most freight) and least preference given to individuals trying to do their own work themselves - e.g., like RAM over the last several months. But I haven't thought about the price side of that.
And holy shit it's gonna get fugly.
So, uh, yeah.
Maybe buy an ebike. Maybe make some plans.

America's oil tanks to run dry by July!

Jason Bordoff is ill - literally, he is defending #OPEC for protecting #oil #prices so that the #US could drill more.
#NYT is publishing this on the same day David Wallace-Wells is describing the scenario of an #ElNino super-charging #climatechange later this year and the next which could potentially kill millions.
Go figure!!
130 oil tankers are heading toward the United States right now.
Not because we’re running out of oil—but because the system is more fragile than it looks.
America produces record levels… yet still depends on imports and global chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. When it tightens, everything shifts.
This is bigger than a headline. It’s a warning.
