Pacific island fuel crisis.

// The hypothesis

Long supply lines and the Iran-war price spike leave fully import-dependent Pacific island states unable to afford diesel for power generation.

12 Pacific island economies · diesel + power

// Modelled impact

Electricity, water and transport are squeezed across the Pacific; several states turn to emergency fuel financing and aid.
