Text excerpt from NYT article linked in second skeet saying: “Most of the profits are flowing to the very affluent Americans, who are not subject to this cost-of-living crisis anyway because they’re so rich. They’re getting richer, and everyone else is dealing with inflation,” said Gregor Semieniuk, associate professor of University of Massachusetts Amherst who led the study. The United Kingdom responded to fossil fuel companies’ bumper year by adding a windfall tax designed to capture some of the excess profits and use the money to ease the burden on households facing higher bills. Semieniuk’s team calculated what would have happened if the U.S. government redistributed the portion of the fossil fuel industry’s 2022 profits that exceeded its 2021 returns. They found that the move would send $1,715 to every American household, which, they argued, could have helped ease the burden of inflation on lower-income households.

The wealthiest 1 per cent of the US population eventually received more than 50 per cent of energy companies’ windfall from that particular surge in prices, according to a paper published in September 2025. “If anything [the US has] become a more powerful exporter and producer of fossil fuels since 2022. And of course, their oil majors are active globally. So I think [US shareholders] are poised to take advantage even more [now],” said Gregor Semieniuk, a professor at the University of Massachusetts who was one of the authors of the research. “Wealth distributions don’t change overnight.”
Who stands to profit as energy prices are rising due to the escalating war in the Middle East? NYT and FT quoting our research on the 2022 energy crisis! Spoiler: in the West it's mainly affluent shareholders.
High time to dust off the discussions on excess profit taxes & strategic price controls.

Spain is the only EU country that has condemned the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran as a violation of international law.
Other European countries can see the response they will get if they too decide to speak out: 'You're either with us or you're with Iran'.

The EU's ideological zeal for deregulation really makes no sense when you look at the numbers
These are official EU estimates:
Total net savings from all 10 of the Commission's deregulation packages: €12bn
Cost of cleaning up just ONE source of pollution (nitrates): €70-320bn EVERY YEAR
Text: The EU is betting on deregulation - here's why that won't work. If the EU wants to meet its economic and environmental goals, it needs to reject deregulation in favour of a bolder approach
Leaning into deregulation won't reverse the EU's economic fortunes.
