Global fuel crisis intensifies

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted critical supply chains, impacting industries from Thai fishing fleets to Indian households.

Governments in Australia and the UK are launching multi-million dollar campaigns to encourage fuel conservation as costs continue to soar.

In Ireland, agricultural workers and hauliers have staged intense protests, bringing the capital to a standstill and prompting the deployment of military-style policing responses.

The crisis is also driving record numbers of households toward green energy upgrades to mitigate rising utility bills.
