The energy shortage is structural and cannot be fixed in the near term. And the effects of that have been masked by the fact that tankers were already out when the war started, and took some time to get to their destination, then by countries opening up the reserves. Now both of these amortization measures are exhausted, and we'll see the real price of energy take effect. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago (1 child) i fully expect the brunt to be felt after the midterm elections -- sparing trump and his ilk from the worst of the fallout. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] yogthos@lemmy.ml [S] 7 points 5 days ago yeah an energy crisis right before the election would be a disaster for them permalink fedilink source parent
