Could Planes Really Be Grounded Within Months?

Could the Iran war trigger an energy shock severe enough to ground planes, force fuel rationing and push food prices even higher? In this week’s GOKO Podcast, Greg and Troy unpack Professor Stephen Keen’s warning about the potential economic fallout from the Iran conflict. The discussion moves from aviation and fuel shortages to food prices, government preparedness and the political consequences if everyday Australians start feeling even more pressure at the pump and supermarket checkout. They discuss: • Stephen Keen’s warning of a potentially major energy crisis • Why planes could face disruption if fuel pressure escalates • The possibility of fuel rationing • How higher energy costs could flow through to food and transport • Why governments may be underprepared for a prolonged crisis • The political consequences of worsening cost-of-living pressure • What history can teach us about public demand for political change Timestamps: 00:00 – Could planes really be grounded within months? 01:00 – Stephen Keen’s warning about the Iran war 01:35 – The potential global energy crisis 02:00 – Petrol prices, food costs and shortages 03:20 – Why Keen says fuel rationing may be needed 04:00 – What fuel rationing looked like in Australia 05:00 – The political consequences for Australia 05:35 – Nuclear war and the risk of further escalation 07:00 – Pauline Hanson, Trump and the demand for change 08:00 – What Gough Whitlam and Vietnam can teach us 09:00 – How political movements gain momentum 10:00 – Greg on whether he would “fall into line” in politics 10:40 – Viewer comments and wrapping up What do you think, are governments taking the risk of a serious energy crisis seriously enough?
