Sea mines remain uncleared-THE ENERGY STORM - Timing Is Everything. Normal =2037! Tax 1000000 %MUSK Thiel GATES Trump Peter Thiel’ Jail them NOW!

Corrected Assessment (as of today, Sept 17, 2026)

The strait is effectively closed again

• Sea mines remain uncleared

• Annual revenue loss: $20 billion/year, per QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi. 

• Repair timeline: 3–5 years (i.e., 2029–2031). 

• Force majeure: Declared on long-term contracts with China, South Korea, Italy, and Belgium — potentially for up to 5 years. 

• Full rebuild (worst-hit): 10–20+ years 

  Current Status (as of yesterday, Sept 16, 2026)

  The situation has deteriorated sharply.  The 60-day US-Iran MOU that was supposed to reopen the strait is unraveling.  Tanker traffic is at just 2% of normal (1 vessel/day), with a 7-day average of 3%. Political instability, militia interference, 70–80% output lossBottom line: 2037 is a reasonable outer bound for the most damaged, most politically unstable producers, but not for the strait itself or the major Gulf energy system 

• Record Highs: Some individual gas stations, such as those in Bocholt or on highways in southern Berlin, have posted prices for premium diesel (Diesel A or Super Plus) reaching €3.00 to €3.15 per liter (approx.  $12–$13.50 per gallon).

  Current Price — All-Time Record (Today)

  As of today, September 17, 2026, ADAC reports the national average diesel price has hit a record €2.45 per litre — 0.6 cents above the previous record set in April.  That works out to roughly $10.70 per US gallon at current exchange rates

• Saudi Jazan refinery: Struck again on September 7 after being shut since late July, removing another Gulf diesel supply. 

• Russian refining disruption: Ukrainian strikes have taken roughly a quarter of Russia’s refining capacity offline, cutting a major diesel export source Europe relies on.

  Bottom line: 2037 is a reasonable outer bound for the most damaged, most politically unstable producers, but not for the strait itself or the major Gulf energy system

  Sanctions block equipment/financing; South Pars structural damage; low-pressure reservoirs slow restarts
