Are we genuinely looking at zero petrol by late may?
Edit: sorry just saw petrol is late June
Oh no, there will be petrol. If you can afford $5 per litre.
Damn and I thought $2.56 per litre NZD was bad in BC.
Yeah I saw the projection of $4.80
Is it likely we will hit the level four of the traffic light system? Ie, only emergency and public transport vehicles?
If there was a 1% likelihood of your plane crashing, would you board it? Even low likelihood things are worth planning for, if the consequences are severe.
It really depends on what happens in the next couple of weeks. If more oil/gas infrastructure is damaged then expect an extended emergency that lasts for months or years.
Humans are creative, we all want things to work out and capitalism is more resilient and flexible than I’ve expected in the past so there could be positive surprises too. Maybe the Ukraine war will stop and Russia will sell us lots of oil and gas, who knows.
@rimu @philanthropicoctopus , even if they do, I hope there’s a rapid change towards electrification and away from fossil fuels; with regulation on the power/electricity sector (it’s out of control, ie my actual electricity use is 8nzd while I’m paying 60-80nzd), oh and while we’re at it, will some party finally have the guts to regulate supermarkets/food industry (we’ve been listening for years why they decided not to move against supermarkets while these report ever increasing millions in profit. It’s like a slap in the face with a wet fish, on the days they still catch some).
If we stopped buying it, yes. We do have a steady stream of fuel being shipped to the country though, so this is normal.
Although just over a month of supply in the country is less than I thought.
Bit nerve wravking watching this all unfold eh. I’ve got a young family and I’m the sole earner. It’d break me if I was able to ensure they have everything they need
Doubtful, this page only counts ships that are in the water with AIS tracking, so ships confirmed that haven’t left yet are treated as non-existent.
Yep, they state that on the site.
Specifically saying that MBIE tracks ships that they cannot.
