Now Donny is going to block the straight of Hormuz?

Now that the lefties here present all have their panties in a knot, it does appear that president Trump has subdued Iran. What benefit that will accrue from that, time will tell. Rusmussen, a fairly reputable pollster, pegs presidential approval rating at 44% which is relatively high for a president at midterms. Believe it or not. the president cares not what leftist canucks think of him and that is to his credit. I will admit that I was skeptical of the war of US action against Iran but now will wait and and see. Oil prices are down considerably and the stock market is making new highs. Was down in Texas a couple weeks ago and it has been booming there. However, the dry conditions will likely be a bit of a damper on that.

The price of energy and fertilizer will stay high for a long time.

This is the biggest energy shock of all time according to the IEA.

Many countries are running out or are low of fuel supplies.

[furrowtickler]

Many of those countries running out of oil are the ones that dove head first in the green energy scheme while bashing oil . Now they in a pickle
I guess windmills and solar panels can’t run the aviation, trucking or ag industry quite yet let alone the mining industry that is needed for all the rare earth minerals to make said batteries and solar panels
And now add huge data centers for energy demand.

Wrong again Flipper!

Air travel only accounts for 2.5% of greenhouse gas emissions because only about 10% of the world flys. Agriculture is about 30%.

Everyone needs to eat but not everyone needs to fly.

Global agrifood systems produce about 16.2 billion tonnes of equivalent annually, representing nearly 30% of total global emissions. Key drivers include livestock enteric fermentation (methane), fertilizer application (nitrous oxide), and land-use changes like deforestation, with on-farm activities accounting for roughly 48% of the sector's total emissions.

Flying is one of the most carbon-intensive activities — yet it contributes just 2.5% of the world’s carbon emissions. How does this add up? Well, almost everyone in the world does not fly. Studies estimate that just 10% of the world flies in most years.¹ ([url]https://ourworldindata.org/global-aviation-emissions#note-1[/url]) But as incomes rise, this will change.

Just remember ocean freight runs on oil. Air freight is vital for part supply. Don't count on the availability of machinery parts if aviation fuel becomes scarce.
