With rising oil prices, if countries decided to curtail their consumption - akin to a directed economy - to reduce purchases to a minimum and even refusing to buy above a certain value, what could that cause?
The first reaction I’d expect would be production cuts to hold the prices but, technically, those are already happening. Demand is just not following.


don’t most trains run on desil or desil like fluids?
I have to admit my ignorance, I thought today’s trains were all electric
They basically work using a diesel generator hooked up to an electric motor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel–electric_powertrain
they are, the desil produces the electricity.
