What the Oil Crisis Means for Europe

Fuel prices across Europe have surged past €2 per litre, leaving drivers wondering what’s going on. In this video, we break down how the war in Iran sent global oil prices skyrocketing in just days.

With insurers pulling back and tankers stuck at sea, the world’s oil supply is suddenly under pressure. That doesn’t just affect what you pay at the pump — it could push the global economy toward stagflation. And for Europe, the crisis raises a much bigger question: how do you escape dependence on oil in an increasingly unstable world? 🌍⛽
