UK diesel averaged a record 200.01p a litre on Friday, the RAC said, up 40.5% since the Iran war began in late February. Because the shortage sits in damaged refineries in the Middle East and Russia, fleet operators setting next quarter's fuel budget have weak grounds to plan on a quick fall.
Reality
Ukraine says its strikes have knocked out 51% of Russia's oil refining capacity, a claim that could not be independently verified. IEA figures point to a smaller loss that Russia covers by postponing maintenance and keeping diesel at home.
Reality
China reimposed its fuel export ban this month after a decade of 2.3% annual refining growth as Australia and Japan cut capacity. The diesel and jet fuel squeeze now turns on where refineries sit, and ten years of OECD closures left fewer of them in the West.
Reality
G7 nations will release 100 million barrels of oil and fuel, front-loading diesel within 20 days and spreading the rest over four months. Russia's export ban and lost Gulf cargoes stay in place, so fuel budgets past that window face the same supply squeeze.

Australia cut refining capacity 6.9% a year over a decade as China added 2.3% a year, Energy Institute data show. China's renewed fuel export ban now falls on importers that shut their own plants, just as two wars squeeze diesel and jet fuel supply.

Google's Project Suncatcher is launching four processors that can run Gemini for only 15 minutes before they must shut down to cool. Heat, launch mass and downlink stand between that payload and the orbital data centers SpaceX pitched when it went public in June.
Reality
Korean refiners lost 5 trillion won under the government's oil price cap through June, above the 4.2 trillion won in contingency funds allocated for it. Whether the state budget or the refiners' own books carry the 800 billion won shortfall decides if the cap is a fiscal problem or an earnings one.
Reality
Long-running fuel shortages are pushing global oil and gas use into its first annual decline since the pandemic, a Washington Post analysis of IEA data shows. Because missing supply is the cause, the drop so far counts fuel that was never delivered, and any lasting loss of demand will only show up once the shortages ease.
Reality
International oil prices have passed $100 while the US Navy narrows its Hormuz escort windows to two a day, and the overland pipeline that was the alternative to the strait is offline after a drone attack.

Saad al-Kaabi says Scott Bessent is wrong that pipeline expansions will strand the Strait of Hormuz, and he warns that a disruption there takes oil to $150. The lines in question move crude, and Qatar ships gas.
Reality
Both routes that carried Gulf barrels around the closed Strait of Hormuz have now been hit, one by a drone and the other by a Houthi takeover of the Red Sea chokepoint. Oil is at $110 a barrel.
Reality
The US national average hit a record $6.505 a gallon on September 21, about 50 cents above where it sat ten days earlier, with inventories 13% under the five-year average as harvest demand arrives.

Tesla has registered a Vietnamese entity. The market it would enter grew 89% in the second quarter of 2026 and is 92% VinFast, whose parent Vingroup booked $8.52bn of revenue in the first half of the year.

Seven bills make California data centers disclose power and water use and fund the upgrades they cause, though the tariff that prices the electricity side is not due from the Public Utilities Commission until January 1, 2028.
Reality
The Commission's A-to-G scheme covers every EU site above 500 kilowatts and enters force as a delegated regulation, with member states and the Parliament given two months to object and no power to amend. First labels come in 2027.

A coalition report led by climate analyst Ketan Joshi puts Nvidia's fiscal 2026 Scope 3 at about 10.7 million tonnes against 1.3 million in fiscal 2020, and estimates the emissions from using its sold chips at as much as 21 million.
Reality
Aniket Shah of Jefferies and Al Gore's Generation Investment Management both say AI power is a small part of a 50 billion ton problem, while the share of asset owners calling AI an environmental risk has doubled to 25%.
Reality
Global data center electricity use goes from about 415 TWh in 2024 to roughly 945 TWh in 2030 on the agency's April 2025 projection, and the transmission and generation to serve it take five to ten years against a data center's 18 to 24 months.

Stegra's plant at Boden will reduce iron with green hydrogen instead of coal. Google's share of the first year of output arrives as environmental attribute certificates a buyer can count against construction emissions.

Vinod Bijlani argues in Forbes that a token price measures only what an application consumed, while the idle accelerators and rising power draw behind it never reach the invoice a CIO reviews. He works for HPE.
