Here we go – IEA: YOU must make sacrifices during this unprecedented time for oil prices.

I think they should remove air conditioning in all federal buildings as that takes oil to produce, install and maintain.

I think politicians should stop jetsetting around the world for photo op’s when they have Zoom/Skype etc.

Maybe they can cut back on all the military flights over the country.

Maybe they can actually be serious about China and India getting on board.

Why not ban leisure flights and cruises during this?

They really want to end private vehicle ownership. (In cities)
