"The shutdown of the Straight of Hormuz was not quite as bad as you probably thought". Mate it's not been much more than a month, the oil that left prior to the shutdown has barely even reached its destination 😬

Never felt so healthy walking to work and shopping since the strait was closed.

I like how the stock video to illustrate a message sent over marine radio showed a radio tuned to 121.5.

Always has to be about planes!

Every non-oil economy should be hyper focused on renewables. Even if they cut single digit percentages of demand - it's helpful. These sorts of shocks show the value of self reliance. It's not politics or feelings - pure economics.

the fact that this problem was created out of thin air is astonishing

You forgot to mention that different crude need different refineries. There’s so much different type of quality’s of crude and different countries can only refine the crude that their plants are build for.

0:22 "No ship in every type is not allowed to pass" well thats a double negative so therefore ships were allowed through all along. Case closed and I'll take my Wendover Peace Prize now

Air Canada just announced their suspending a bunch of routes due to jet fuel costs... So yeah this is a relevant video for wendover

The fact an insurance company can back out of a WAR RISK INSURANCE policy due to WAR RISK is incredible crazy.

Moral of the story? Use breakfast cereal as a substitute for oil... I think
@
Surprising lack of mention of the strikes on oil/gas production and refinery sites on both sides of the Gulf. Those will have a long lasting effect until those sites are up and working years from now.

War risk insurance is great and all, but it gets cancelled immediately when there is actually war
