Prices for gas and diesel are rising in Austria. The war in the Middle East is the reason. Israel and the USA fight against Iran there. This makes oil very expensive worldwide.
The federal government in Austria wants to help now. Federal Chancellor Christian Stocker showed new plans. Prices should drop by about 10 cents per liter. The state lowers taxes on fuel for this.
There will also be a price cap. This means: Companies must not make too much profit. These measures should start in April. The USA also has changes about energy.
President Donald Trump stops building windmills in the sea. He pays a company almost 1 billion dollars for this. He wants to promote more oil and gas instead. Trump says windmills are too expensive and not good.
