The International Energy Agency released a series of steps on Friday that would ease the burden of the global oil price spike.
Recognising 45 per cent of the world's oil demand comes from road transport, the agency urged workers to stay at home where possible and consider public transport if they need to travel.
Australians urged to work from home and drive slower to save fuel

Or maybe... and this is just an out there idea... a bunch of world leaders could get serious with Trump and tell him to fuck off.
I'm absolutely apoplectic that on the other side of the world we have to bear the consequences of American's enabling this child rapist.
If a handful of countries stood together and pushed back in strategic and orchestrated ways, we could end him.

I'm driving slower and not invading Iran.

But think of all of the strategic objectives you could achieve by driving faster and invading Iran!

Completely agree but sadly even if the war was to stop tomorrow the shut down of oil producing and refining facilities means that there will be a shortage for the next 6 months (apologies for not having a reference. I can't find the statement which I think was made by the IEA but will add it if I can).
Hopefully the state and federal governments will start pushing for more subsidies for public transport.

Thats the general consensus, yes - 6 months at best.
However, every day that continues makes that "best case" less achievable.
Today theyre talking about deployments indicating boots on the ground.

I was riding my ebike to work then some unc on his phone ran into it, now my bike's in getting serviced and I need to drive again.
I think everyone should stop driving

This is why increasing our solar and nuclear output is so important, we shouldn’t be at the whims of external affairs governing our energy supply.
