JAKARTA - Danish Minister of Climate, Energy, and Utilities Lars Aagaard has urged residents to reduce driving for less important purposes to save energy amid rising oil prices triggered by the crisis in the Middle East.
"If there is energy consumption that you can reduce, if there is no urgent need to drive, then don't drive," Aagaard said, as quoted by the DR television station as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik.
"This step will ease the household budget and help maintain national reserves," he explained.
Cargo shipments through the Strait of Hormuz were almost halted after the United States (US) and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, causing damage and civilian casualties.
Iran also retaliated by attacking Israeli territory and US military bases throughout the Middle East.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for supplying oil and liquefied natural gas from Persian Gulf countries to global markets, accounting for about 20 percent of global trade in oil, petroleum products and liquefied natural gas.
