Has Trump doomed fossil fuels? Words by Danny Chivers.
The war on Iran could have lasting consequences on the energy market.
The US and Israel’s attack on Iran has sent the oil and gas markets into chaos. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, combined with damage to oil and gas infrastructure across the Middle East, has led to rocketing prices across the globe. No matter what happens with the current conflict, the price shock is expected to last for months, if not years.
