@theeconomist: The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has trapped an estimated 136m barrels of oil in the Persian Gulf. But Saudi Arabia has a partial workaround—the East-West pipeline. Can it help keep the world economy moving? Tap the link to read why Donald Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is a dangerous gamble. #oil #war #saudiarabia🇸🇦 #iran #unitedstates #energy #news

This is a call to the international community that we slowly need to move away from oil because a handful of people can affect billions.

Why werent we told about this earlier? Why does the media have the habit of fear mongering? Why does the media not like to provide the general public with information that provides relief?

You’re missing that throu the pipeline passes mostly light crude and for diesel you need heavy crude, so even at full capacity the pipeline would not substitute ship transportation

No, it’s max capacity is 5M barrels a day, but 25M transit the straight. Sure, it helps, but not to any great extent.

They haven’t hit the pipeline but a pumping station. The pipeline is underground.
