Europe Told To Work From Home and Drive Less
Millions of citizens across Europe have been urged to work from home and drive less amid the energy crisis caused by the Iran war. Dan Jørgensen, the European commissioner for energy and housing, said on Tuesday that Europe was facing a "very serious situation," with no end in sight. Jørgensen urged European Union member nations to encourage citizens to follow the advice from the International Energy Agency, which is to "work from home where possible, reduce highway speed limits by 10 kilometers [an hour] (around 6 mph), encourage public transport, alternate private car access…increase car sharing and adopt efficient driving practices." He added: “Even if…peace is here tomorrow, still we will not go back to normal in the foreseeable future…The more you can do to save oil, especially diesel, especially jet fuel, the better we are off,” Jørgensen said, emphasizing that voluntary public cooperation could significantly reduce pressure on strained energy markets.

President Donald Trump kicked off the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran in late February, prompting Iran to shut off U.S.-aligned vessels from accessing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows. As a result, oil prices have increased to levels not seen since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and show no signs of easing.
