Denmark’s energy minister called on citizens to reduce their energy use amid the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Oil prices jumped to over $100 a barrel on Thursday, raising fears of rising inflation.
“If it is not strictly necessary to drive the car, then don’t do it,” the minister stressed to Danish citizens.
I started commuting by bus when this started. The trip takes 10 minutes longer, but it’s time I would have spent doomscrolling before work anyways. Now I can doomscroll on the bus instead.
Commuting by train myself. I’ve picked up audiobooks. Lovely way to start and end a workday. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately if I take the bus, trip goes from 30 mins to 2 hours…
If there’s no traffic, it goes from 10-15 minutes to ~1+ hour (most of which is outside of the buses). Ebiking is great though (~40 minutes and not as affected by traffic - sometimes its faster than driving because of that).
That’s great if you can managed not to get blended to death by the 10k lb. monster trucks you’re forced to share the road with.
Elect better politicians who will improve the bus service, then.
Would if I could. I vote so hard bro.
I take the E-Bike and listen to podcasts or blast some music. I know I know, dangerous blablabla. Don’t care. I love it the way it is.
