The prices for energy rise fast. One barrel of oil costs more than 100 dollars. This is very high. Also gas gets more expensive now.
The reason for the high prices are fights. USA and Iran fight each other. The USA destroys 5 ships from Iran. Iran fires rockets at Jordan. Jordan is a partner of USA.
The fights happen at the Street of Hormuz. This is a narrow sea path. Many ships use this path. Now Iran blocks this path. Ships can not sail safely there.
Expensive oil changes many things. Fuel at the station costs more money. Heating with oil or gas costs more. Even electricity can get more expensive.
China buys a lot of oil right now. This pushes the price up more. Experts think oil gets even more expensive. This worries many people.
