Recent fluctuations in crude oil prices have drawn attention to the potential need for energy rationing as a demand management strategy.
Currently, crude oil is priced at $75 per barrel, and forecasts suggest a 10% increase over the next month, raising concerns about energy affordability and availability.
Historically, energy rationing was a response to crises, notably during the 1970s oil crisis, and its reimplementation could have significant implications for energy infrastructure and consumption patterns.
