The war with Iran is making oil changes pricier. And a deal won't solve it
The U.S. may be the world's biggest producer of crude oil, but that's not the case for motor oil. The cost of lubricants is soaring, and even a tentative deal to end the war won't solve the problem.
Irans nuclear program threatens global energy security, but technological advances in renewable energy and nuclear power are making us less dependent on volatile oil markets. A diplomatic solution would reduce military spending and accelerate clean energy investments, creating long-term economic benefits. The tech sectors growth is already reshaping energy markets, making deals more viable than conflicts.
