Executive Director of the International Energy Agency: The current energy crisis has exceeded the sum of the previous three crises or may face a "Black April."

Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, said that the current global energy crisis is "more severe than the crises of 1973, 1979, and 2022 combined." He predicted that the crisis will accelerate the development of renewable energy, nuclear power, and electric cars. According to French sources on the 7th, Birol said in an interview that countries should "be as cautious as possible" in saving energy in the short term, as the global energy market may face a "black April." "If the strait remains closed throughout April, the shortage of crude oil and refined oil will be more than twice that of March."
