    Can the saudis send it north through the suez? I’m sure the big tankers won’t fit, but surely there are smaller ships they could use, or even just put the il in barrels?

      That’s why the Houthis keep bombing that pipeline. Most of the actual oil is in the east part of the country along the Persian Gulf, so they first need to get it to the Red Sea coast where it can be shipped through the Suez.

        But I live in Europe, I don’t need fuel. I can just cycle anywhere I need to go. The american mind literally cannot comprehend using your legs as a primary method of transport.

        Even if I wanted to take public transport, I live in a town fairly far from London but even our bus service is fully electric.

          How do you get the food you eat? How does society function? How does the economy actually stay afloat?

          Oil is at the center of it all friend

            If it ever gets that low we can always ration it so that its reserved for critical infrastructure. Especially when we know about this problem so far ahead of time.
