“If we don't open up Hormuz soon, I can see us making new records,” says Bob McNally, a former White House energy adviser to the second Bush administration. It’s not just gas prices surging. The cost of jet and diesel fuel has risen 25%, and higher plane tickets and grocery prices are expected to follow. “A supply disruption anywhere leads to a price spike for consumers everywhere, including here,” says McNally. “When that mom in Des Moines goes to the store to buy food for her family, that food was grown with and transported by oil. And, as those producers and growers of food react to and absorb these price increases, they'll be passed along to the consumer, to that mom in the store,” explains McNally. #iran #gasprices #straitofhormuz #uspoliticsnews
