The International Energy Agency (IEA) is encouraging workers to work from home to combat soaring oil prices and impending fuel shortages caused by the conflict in the Middle East. The world’s energy watchdog has made 10 recommendations to help households and businesses prepare for protracted disruption to energy markets, including reducing highway speed limits by at least 10 kilometers per hour, and avoiding ?air travel if other means of transport are available. “Today’s report provides a menu of immediate and concrete measures that can be taken ?on the demand side by governments, businesses and ?households ?to shelter consumers from the impacts of this crisis,” said IEA executive director Fatih Birol.
