Denmark’s energy minister called on citizens to reduce their energy use amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Oil prices jumped to over $100 a barrel on Thursday, raising fears of rising inflation.
“If it is not strictly necessary to drive the car, then don’t do it,” the minister stressed to Danish citizens.
The price of food is very dependent on the price of fuel. Poor people spend much much more of their income on food and other necessities that are driven by fuel costs and which cannot be done without.
I agree, but then this isn’t about fuel, but about subsidising logistics.
I don’t know what “this” you are talking about but the fact of the matter is that high fuel costs hurt the poorest most, and I don’t believe you have a meaningful solution to that.
