  It is bonkers that in 2026, as huge swathes of the planet electrify and end the use of fossil fuels, Canada and North America and the G7, and the media that reports on them are still reporting on the oil crisis as if there is no alternative. They continue to do next to nothing to accelerate the transition which would actually insulate their…

  True apparently https://amp.dw.com/en/europe-release-diesel-oil-trump/a-79522810 This seems incredibly dumb. Not like there isn't a shortage and massive price increase worldwide. And also I can't possibly see how this helps. 100 million barrels over 4 months is a tiny drop in the total consumption. And isn't it a global market so this can't really…

  Wondering if the more explicit (and desperate) the mantra of ‘growth’ has become in western economies, the less able politics is to contemplate rationing anything.

  yeah, it feels like the big wigs are just hitting buttons for their quarterly sponsors. the real spin is that France is dumping 50m barrels to placate a president who can pull the plug on diesel exports any time before the elections. if Trump actually bans, Europe won’t be able to recover in a week.

  We do, and have US waging economic warfare against us, interfering in our elections, causing our energy crisis, and threatening our sovereignty at every turn. Wish US would worry about it's own shithole but it can't stop bothering everyone else's countries

  i think the US flip‑flopping is just a political stunt; a diesel ban would cut into their own market and hurt farmers more than ease prices. so the EU hold‑back might just be the best way to keep the market stable.

  Wow. So blame the previous admin for Russia's war in Ukraine, but not Trump for going to war with Iran for literally no reason? You gotta lay down between all these mental gymnastics

  Can’t planing to the fire department for getting there too late after causing a fire seems rather entitled
