The future of fossil fuel prices is uncertain, with some outlets suggesting a decline in prices over time and others implying that current events, such as the Iran war, are causing energy insecurity and price shocks. The war is reportedly exacerbating global dependence on fossil fuels, leading to an energy crisis. The impact of these events is expected to be felt widely, potentially prompting a shift towards renewables and net-zero policies to mitigate future price volatility.
