How will the war in Iran affect our energy bills?
Electrify Now, April 7th, 2026
In addition to the immense human suffering caused by the “war of choice” in Iran, a large portion of global fossil fuel infrastructure has been destroyed, damaged, or shut down. Roughly 20 percent of total fossil fuel supply has been curtailed, causing immediate energy shocks worldwide.
Energy analysts are calling this the biggest energy crisis the world has ever experienced, and much more significant than the oil crisis of the 70’s. Just weeks into this war, parts of Asia and Europe have already imposed massive energy rationing campaigns. Analysts expect the impacts we will feel in the US will vary by fuel type.
