🚨 Get Ready For Energy Lockdowns (What They Have Planned Is Terrifying...) 🔥 The next lockdowns will make the covid lockdowns look like a holiday... Work from home, no driving your car, energy blackouts, food shortages & much more! #energylockdowns #energy #iran #war #foodshortages
Video Transcript AI Summary
- The video discusses energy lockdowns as a forecast reality already beginning in some countries and likely to ripple worldwide. The host emphasizes the content as potentially disturbing and cites a recent IEA report titled “sheltering from oil shocks,” along with data from multiple countries and other worst‑case scenario reports.
- Core plan described: the IEA envisions energy lockdowns that require major changes in daily life and mobility. Measures include:
- Working from home three out of five days per week.
- Dramatically reducing driving speeds and limiting private car access to cities.
- Reducing public transport use and expanding car sharing.
- Assessing whether one has a “key worker” reason to travel.
- Reducing air travel by 40% or requiring a strong justification for flights.
- Promoting 15‑minute cities to minimize travel.
- Encouraging walking or cycling, greater public transport use, and eco‑driving techniques.
- Prioritizing electric vehicles, with questions raised about how this aligns with other fuel choices.
- The host reiterates that these measures would be more severe than COVID lockdowns. They reference the ongoing energy disruptions: strikes on Russian oil refineries, destruction/damage to about 40 energy sites in the Middle East, Europe’s reliance on LNG with tanker reroutes to Asia due to higher payments, and broader geopolitical tensions affecting energy flows.
- Worst‑case scenario categories described in the report:
1) Immediate daily survival hits: low energy caps on homes (heating limited to about 15–18°C, with rolling blackouts in winter), no air conditioning in heat waves, fridges/freezers potentially turned off, cooking restricted if power or gas are limited, water pumps and treatment plants failing, possible boiling water orders, toilets and sewage issues, and widespread darkness with limited internet/TV/charging.
2) Health system breakdown: hospitals running on diesel generators, surgeries canceled, ventilators/oxygen/dialysis impacted, home medical devices useless, ambulance and emergency services underfunded or overwhelmed.
3) Food, water, and supply chain collapse: irrigation and farming halted due to fuel shortages, processing and distribution disrupted, empty shelves and panic buying, potential black markets and rationing reminiscent of wartime scenarios, with starvation risks in weeks in some countries and severe inflation.
4) Transport and mobility lockdowns: fuel rationing (odd/even days), reduced public transport, more cycling/walking, restricted medical visits, difficulty moving goods, economic and job devastation, and unemployment possibly skyrocketing (20–40% in worst cases).
5) Economic and societal collapse: energy‑intensive sectors shut, currency printing for stimulus, social order strain including riots and migrations, education stopping (home schooling), innovation and investment freezes, potential grid or civil breakdown, and excess deaths from extreme temperatures, starvation, and illness.
6) Long‑term societal damage: prolonged crisis causing massive economic contraction, widespread disruption to infrastructure and services, and deep social disruption.
- The host notes current real‑world developments that align with these concerns: numerous countries declaring emergencies, fuel supply challenges, and policy actions such as fuel rationing or travel restrictions. Examples cited include the Philippines declaring a state of emergency, Vietnam and Bangladesh facing oil issues, Slovenia introducing fuel rationing, and South Korea implementing odd‑license‑plate driving bans for public sector workers.
- The video closes with warnings about the potential severity and urges viewers to prepare, arguing that comments by some media or officials predicting quick recoveries could mislead families about the risk. A sense of urgency is conveyed about taking energy and logistical precautions in light of the described scenarios.

Speaker 0: Get ready for energy lockdowns because they're already here right now for some countries and they are going to be rippling through the world. Now, if you have a weak disposition and you don't like anything scary, you know, you're the sort of person that covers their eyes when something scary scene comes on the movie, you probably shouldn't watch this video. And I mean that very very seriously because I am gonna tell you the worst case scenario that has been forecast and even when I read it, it really made my hair stand on end. And I mean that genuinely when I read the worst case scenario forecast. Now, you may have seen because it's been about three days now that this report has been going around from the IEA and this is called sheltering from oil shocks.
So I've actually downloaded the report. I've gone through the whole report and I've highlighted a lot of key points for you. But not only have I done that, but I've also taken all of that data. I've collected the data from all of the other countries. I've looked at the and thank you know, it's great having AI for some of this now.
I've collated a lot of the reports, the worst case scenario reports from other countries around energy blackouts, and I've collated this into one succinct video for you. And if you think, well, it's very unlikely, Neil, for this stuff to happen, I promise you, ladies and gentlemen, some of these things will happen. We've already seen some of the the well, and this is a worst case scenario for for Cuba, you know, where they said that the the ventilators would would stop working and people would die in hospitals. That has all already been a reality. So I just wanna let you know this is not, you know, scaremongering here.
This is absolutely what is possible and some of the things are already taken place. And this is why I've been saying for the last four is it three or four weeks now, the media is really downplaying the the the the severity, the gravity of what is going on right now and it's not looking to improve. If anything, it's looking to worsen. The strikes on all the Russian oil refineries have been intense in the last week, unlike anything we've seen in this war. Not just that, we've now seen, what is it, 40 energy sites in The Middle East either destroyed or damaged.
Europe has completely come off. The Russian energy is a is reliant on this LNG. All the tankers have turned around. They were all on their way to Europe. They've gone to Asia now because Asia's willing to pay more.
This is really really serious. So okay. Let's get into the report then. And for those of you that like visuals, this was from the IEA and this is just a snippet of the report. Okay?
So they're recommending it's basically energy lockdowns. This is the only way I can describe it. They are suggesting everyone works from home. They are saying that the you should drive. Reduce the speeds that everyone can drive.
Public transport use, but even that is cutting down public transport. Alternate car access in big cities, increase car sharing. There's even things like what is your reason? Are you a a key worker? Do you need to go to work?
You know, there's all these things but I wanna I wanna go through and just and just talk about a lot of this and it does get more serious and scary as we go along. So this was their 10 plan and this is the the very weak plan as it were. So working from home, they recommend working three out of five days a week from home. This is their recommendations. It's already gone out to most of the most country.
In fact, it's pretty much all countries now that are developed in nature, but even the the non developed countries have received this report as well. They're all it's all being talked about in the different governments. It's going through the departments right now. Reducing the speed limits dramatically, limiting private car access. So they're actually saying you can't that they recommend you can't even drive into certain cities now.
They're saying that that that you need a reason to be able to do it. This was the one I thought was very, very, interesting. If you remember the COVID style lockdowns, they said to reduce air travel by 40%. That is what they are suggesting. The airlines need to reduce flights by 40% or there needs to be a good reason why you're taking that flight.
This sort of stuff annoys me. It annoyed me during COVID as well. And as you know or if you don't know, some of you will like what I'm gonna say, some of you will not like it. During COVID, I had zero lockdowns. I didn't lock down at all.
I carried on. I traveled all around the world like I normally do every year. I didn't do any of that stuff. Now I say some of you won't like that because this is where the comments will come in. Oh, because of you.
But look, I I think a lot of this is intentional. I really do. You've seen the first lockdowns. We talked about how there's probably gonna be some more lockdowns, and now they're talking about energy lockdowns. They're basically use this word using this word.
You've seen it all over the media, governments, energy lockdowns. They're saying we need to reduce air travel. It's all reducing travel. And they're even saying in one of the other reports, this is why we need more fifteen minute cities. This is why the work we've been doing for fifteen minute cities is so important because of energy shocks and things like that.
No. The energy shocks have been caused by a war. Two wars in fact. Russia, Ukraine, and then Iran. What the people didn't cause this.
You didn't cause it. I didn't cause it. It's been caused by leaders. Whoever you wanna put the blame on is being caused by leaders. So promoting public transport.
So increasing the use of public transport, but they suggest walking or cycling. And there was a very interesting video during the rounds of I think it's The Philippines where it's just the streets are full of people walking to and from work at the moment. Seriously, so all these videos going around. Car sharing, carpooling, and if you can't carpool, you need a reason to travel. Eco driving techniques, so prioritizing electric vehicles which doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't make any sense at all. Why would you prioritize electric if there's the possibility that you can use diesel or petrol? Like, wouldn't you balance it out? So what that makes no sense. Why would you prioritize electric and switching fuel methods?
You know, there's all of this stuff that they are talking about. Now, I'm gonna come on to the worst case stuff in a minute. And just before we do that, let's just look at the oil price here. So again, people got really excited today. I I love it when I get these emails.
Neil told you it would come down. Yeah. And guess what? It's gone back. I keep telling you, we're not gonna we've got this resistance around a $100 a barrel and that's what we're seeing.
It just keeps hitting this resistance. People love emailing me saying, you got it wrong. Well, look, we're back at a $100 a barrel, ladies and gents. We're hitting this resistance, and I think it's only gonna go up. Yeah.
You might see it drop. There's some announcement that comes up. It could drop to $80 a barrel. It doesn't matter. You're gonna see resistance at a 100 and it's gonna keep gradually going up.
I'm still seeing a 120, 125, 150 worst case scenario, but if they keep bombing the infrastructure, this is just gonna keep running. What about silver? What about gold? This is the other question people keep asking me. It's it is dropping.
Silver's dropping. Gold's dropping. Silver's at $72 an ounce at the moment. Gold's holding around 4 and a half thousand dollars at the moment. This is what's happening.
But let me tell you why I think gold and silver are doing this. If you look at the mainly the institutions, the big financial players, they've got these enormous margin calls, huge margin calls at the moment. That is what they've they've got. So they're liquidating everything they've got, all sorts of assets. I don't think any of you should be selling your gold and silver unless you hold on.
Let me take it off the shared screen. I don't think you should be selling unless you really need to be selling. I think no. I'm not gonna say people should be buying. People will take it as financial advice.
I don't but but I think it's a big mistake that people are selling at the moment. And actually, let me come on to okay. Let's go on to the worst case scenario stuff. So let's get into the worst case scenario here. So this is energy lockdowns, and these are compiled from a lot of reports.
Remember that. These are government reports I've compiled a lot of this from. So it's it says in black and white, the energy lockdowns will be much more severe than the COVID lockdowns. Think about that for a moment. The energy lockdowns, they're saying, will be much more severe than the COVID lockdowns.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is insane. That is crazy. You look at how severe the COVID lockdowns were. It it it's so strange as well. It feels like it was only last year.
I don't know if you feel like that as well. I don't know why that is. There's some sort of phenomenon going on in the world around time, timelines, but it it feels like it was only a year or two ago. But yet, you think it starts in 2019. We're in 2026 now.
I know it's not seven years, but it's it will be seven years this year when all of this started. It doesn't seem like that long ago. There's something it's just very bizarre how it how it keeps going on. But they're saying in black and white, this will be more severe than the COVID lockdowns because well, we'll get into that in a second. But before I give you the the really severe severe forecast here, I have gotta mention the the channel sponsor here, and that is Monetary Metals.
So you've seen gold prices and what they've been doing. They've been hitting new highs this year. They've gone down. They've corrected a little bit at the moment, which gives you a good buying opportunity. But what if there were a way for you to make your gold work for you rather than it sitting idle in, you know, storage or you paying fees to store it?
So that's exactly what monetary metals is doing their channel. They sponsor the channel here because I believe in them, and they've created a groundbreaking way for clients to earn up to a 4% yield on their gold, which is paid in gold. So you don't have to sell your metal. You don't have to convert it into cash. You simply earn more ounces of gold over time.
Monetary metals runs a transparent marketplace that leases gold to businesses that use it productively. Think about, you know, jewelers and refiners. And the returns from those leases go straight back to you as clients, and it's paid in gold. It's not paid in cash. It's paid in gold.
So it's a very simple sound and fully asset backed model designed for people who understand real value and want to grow their wealth in honest money. Monetary metals is all about building real sustainable wealth in the world's most trusted asset, gold. So whether you own gold already or you're looking to start, you can fund an account with your existing metal. You can transfer it over to them. They'll arrange that for you, or you can buy it for them at less than 1% over spot.
So you're actually getting it almost at spot price. So you can join thousands of investors who are already earning a real return in gold every month. Just visit monetary-metals.com/nmw. That's my initials, Neil McCoy Ward, n m w to learn how to earn a yield on gold which will be paid in gold for you. Okay.
So let's go on to now. Here we go. Are you ready for this? Make sure you sat down for this. Number one, again, these are worst case scenarios.
Immediate daily survival hits. These are these are things like cold, cold weather, hot weather, darkness, no basics. So it says homes and businesses limited to low energy caps. The heating could be 15 to 18 degrees Celsius maximum. So 18 degrees not too bad, I think, especially if you're acclimatized.
15 degrees in winter is, especially if there's a wind chill, it's pretty chilly actually. You've also got to think about those people with disabilities and things like that. Doesn't mention anything about that here. There would be power on only at certain hours, although they would induce rolling blackouts. In winter, they warn these are the reports.
They warn there could be widespread hypothermia especially for older people or the elder the elderly, those in badly insulated homes. You'd see excess deaths spike. Real fuel poverty is already, you know, affecting people around the world anyway, so this would only multiply it. People wouldn't be able to turn on the heating or even afford it because the cost would be so, severe. No air conditioning in summer heat waves.
These would be, banned completely which would be insane. Fridges and freezers may need to be turned off under government mandates. What would this result in? You know, food would be spoiled. You've got you've got meat in the freezer.
It would it would rot. You know, you'd have to it this and this is crazy talk. Cooking would be impossible if electrical gas were restricted for that. Water pumps, treatment plants would fail without any power. You'd see shortages, contamination, boil water orders or none at all.
Toilets or sewage could back up. You'd have to use rain water. They talk about buckets and rain water, for doing that. I mean, what what if it's the middle of summer? How are you gonna that that doesn't even make any sense.
How are you gonna fill up a a bucket to flush the toilet? Says no. Be polite here. Says talking about flushing number two but leaving number one. Oh gosh.
That'll be that'll be pretty stinky after a while, but okay. Dark homes, no Internet, TV, charging, you know, they're saying that certain certain heavy usage devices could be restricted, no Zoom calls or videos or streaming, etcetera. You think what this would do actually, you think of the depression and the mental health issues that took place during the lockdown period. And that's when you could speak to other people over over devices. Imagine if they stopped that.
Imagine if they stopped streaming. You'd see all sorts of stuff. You'd see domestic violence, alcoholism, drug abuse. It would be it would just be crazy this stuff. Second point then, this is health and medical system breakdown.
So hospitals on diesel generators, all sorts of things, surgeries would be canceled, ventilators, oxygen, dialysis, these would fail in blackouts. Home medical devices would be pretty useless, they wouldn't work. This goes on and on. It's hard even reading through all this just thinking about the impact on on the people. But there would be a shortfall in ambulances because they wouldn't have enough fuel.
They would only respond to the most urgent of cases, same with the police and emergency services. Food, water, and supply chain collapse. So farms can't run irrigation because they wouldn't be able to pump the water. Tractors or processing tractors wouldn't be able to get the diesel they need. You'd see massive crop and livestock losses.
Empty shelves would be almost strayed away. There'd be massive panic buying. And just a point on that, have you seen what's happening in Australia at the moment? If you are an Australian viewer, which is about I think it's about 10% of my subscribers, please leave a comment. I know you're not gonna see this stream until tomorrow, but let us know around the rest of the world if it's true what we're seeing.
It's over 500 gas stations now completely out. They don't know when they're gonna be restocked. Criminals are siphoning gas off. This is what we're we're being told. They're siphoning gas out of people's tanks, like completely draining it.
Criminal gangs are doing all sorts of crazy stuff in the cities. It just goes on and on and on. They said they might not be able to collect waste, you know, your your waste disposals. Mean, do you remember when I walked around Birmingham? Do you remember what that looked like when they didn't collect the waste?
Stinking rats the size of cats and all sorts. We don't wanna even go down there. The they said supermarkets distribution would halt without refrigeration trucks. We could even go to a World War two style of rationing cards for basics. They'd most likely be black markets which the government and police would have to try and control.
Yeah. Why? Just let it run. Price explosions, huge inflation in in food. It said for many comp many countries, there would be starvation risks risk in weeks if it was prolonged.
It says 1970 style shortages showed how quickly food prices inflation hit and this would be worse with enforced limits from the government. So it says starvation would happen in weeks. And they don't actually mention Western countries but definitely in in developing nations this would hit. But will it happen in in in Western country? Well, let's think about that for a moment.
A lot of people as we know, they don't store any food. They don't have any long life food. I've told you before about my friend. He only goes he he lives in a apartment. I think he's about 60 floors up.
Doesn't I I tell him all the time. I'm like, have you got a backup plan? No. I'll be fine. The world's fine.
He just doesn't believe anything I say. But anyway, that's that's another story. He's watching this right now. He never missed a video. He he doesn't keep any food.
He goes to he orders his food every day or he goes to the supermarket, keeps about two days, three days worth of food in the house, all fresh. I tell him all the time, you you are gonna get hammered when this hits, but there we go. So this would hit a lot of people. People like that, how they're gonna even get down? Because it says that that there would be the elevators would be turned off.
The government would insist that govern elevators are turned off. People will have to take the stairs. 60 floors. Who's gonna take 60 floors? How are you gonna carry water?
I mean, this stuff is worst case, of course. And number four is transport transport and mobility lockdowns. So fuel rationing, they said this is almost a certainty, odds and even days like the nineteen seventies. So if you have an odd number, you can't go to the the fuel station. Public transportation would have to be slashed as well.
They'd encourage more cycling and walking. And if you can't walk to your job, then tough luck basically. You'll have to work from home. Said you can't get you won't be able to commute. Groceries will be difficult.
Visit doctors only if it's urgent or evacuations. Goods won't move. Everything from medicine to parts will stop. Economic and job devastation, they say it would be far worse than what happened during the lockdowns, the COVID lockdowns. Energy intensive sectors, this is manufacturing offices, retail data centers, they would all be shut.
Unemployment would hit 20 to 40% in worst case scenario. This is insane. Small businesses would go bankrupt on mass. And if you think about it, SMEs employ the bulk of workers. So you can imagine the employment scouring cycle that you learned about on Friday when from the walk and talk.
This would just you can see I'm even shocked reading this out at the at the scale of what may happen if this isn't reversed right away. Government currency printing would happen as well. Mass currency creation in order to give money to people, stimulus which will only go into inflation as well. Number six, social order and breakdown. Riots, looting, protests would happen right away.
Home invasions for food if people haven't got food. Migration, massive amounts of migration. People would have to leave the big cities if their accommodation isn't conducive for living. Now it says here for long term societal damage consequences. This says if the crisis goes on for months, as at this point, months.
It says the economy will contract massively. It doesn't give a number here because, again, this is based on different reports. Education will have to stop, so there'll be no schools. It'll be education from home by parents, innovation, investment freezes, potential grid collapse or civil breakdown, excess death from heat, cold, starvation, and treated illnesses. Okay.
This goes on and on and on, ladies and gents. This, I think you can get the idea here of why it's I said it made my hair stand on end when I was collating all these reports and putting it into this big I used AI to to condense everything, consolidate everything. And some of these are are are actually plays that they are they are exercises. They've already been modeled. These are emergency crisis scenarios that have been modeled.
These are some of the things that would take place and will happen. Now, how likely is this? That's that's the question. How likely is this? Well, let's have a look at a couple of articles from today.
This is today. The Philippines has declared a state of emergency in the country. Vietnam, Bangladesh is about to run out of oil. And look, you can see it here. In three weeks, Slovenia has now become the first EU country to introduce fuel rationing.
So that's Europe. Slovenia, Europe fuel rationing. Now you think Europe spent three years moving to the the LNG and moved away from Russian Russian oil and energy. What on earth is Europe gonna do? They're having these emergency crisis meetings but they they honestly if you read some of the transcripts, they don't have an answer.
That they genuinely don't have an answer to this. They they don't know what they're going to do. And here's something that I got today. So I fold that over so you can't see my my address here, but this is from the the company that supplies me. And it says, dear customer, due to the ongoing situation in The Middle East and the resulting volatility in global fuel prices, we are currently unable to provide indicative prices for any new orders.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I told you two or three or it's three weeks ago now, fill up get get all your energy now if you're on oil tank, fill it up right away while it was 60 p a liter or whatever. I think mine was 60 p I filled up at 3,000 liters. I said do it today, get it all booked in. When I called up, they didn't even have a clue. They they they they were clueless.
They didn't even see no one had called. They didn't even realize this was gonna happen. So they said so far this is they've been insulated from the increase. However, unless the situation stabilizes soon, our next shipment of fuel is likely to arrive at a significantly higher cost than the last. We're monitoring the developments closely and hope the situation improves before our next shipment.
It's not going to improve. Prices are are rising. At which point, we'll be able to resume quoting. Currently, are no concerns regarding supply supply. Yes.
There are. If you are an automatic delivery customer due due a delivery soon and are concerned, please call us. Thanks for your understanding and patience during this time. And people all around the world are getting these letters at the moment. Everywhere, people are getting these these letters.
What else have we got? Italy has cut fuel taxes by 25¢ a liter. Spain has slashed VAT on fuel, gas, and electric from 21% to 10%. Philippines national emergency, Pakistan closed the school. They've banned travel banned official travel, and they've declared work from home.
Sri Lanka, fuel rationing by license plates number. Indonesia, boosting coal production. Again, work from home policy, so lockdowns. Greece fuel subsidies, fertilizer support. 11 tankers have changed course as well.
Here we go. Let's just show you this so you can actually see that on the screen share. So here we go. These tankers that were on the way to Europe to offload actually turned around and they've they're now going you can see that the trajectory, the route, they're all going to Asia now. So this is another thing that has taken place.
Europe is absolutely screwed. They just don't know it yet. The Netherlands The Netherlands even worse. Do you know that that they poured cement into their gas wells? What moron authorizes that?
Who pours cement into gas wells so they can't be used because of the net this was wasn't recent. This was for the net zero stuff. It is ridiculous. It it it's gosh. They they are deliberately doing some of this stuff.
Taiwan, LNG for 40% of power, the electrical grid power generation 40%. They've got around eleven days left. That's Taiwan. Semiconductors, anybody? South Korea was is another one.
They've just mandated odd license numbers. We haven't seen this since the nineteen seventies, and this is starting today. All public sector employees in South Korea will be banned from driving. At the moment, it's one day a week and they're gonna monitor it. So they're banned, completely banned, and it's the it's based on their last digit of their license plate.
The government initially considered making this mandatory for the private sector as well, but they're holding off at the moment because they don't want to see truck drivers and delivery drivers disproportionately affected by this. There's a 12 emergency plan they're putting into place, this South Korea. The IAEA said 40 energy sites across The Middle East have been damaged and can't deliver at the moment. Goodness me. This is crazy.
What about this one? Let me show you on the shared screen here. For you Australians again, NSW premier calls for COVID style protocol lockdowns, we should say, as fuel crisis explodes. These are just all of the stories coming out today. How on earth?
Ukraine just again bombed another Russian oil, terminal. 60,000,000 tons a year come out of this, and they've just bombed this so Russia can't, export oil to the rest of the world and make a profit from it. Now some of you will probably watch that and say, well, great. I don't we don't want Russia making any money because of the war. No.
It's not great. Put the war to the one side here. Russia could have provided energy and offset a lot of this problem. But instead instead, now with the British help, believe it or not, the British help Ukraine to bomb all of these sites. This is this is insane.
This I I mean, this goes on and on and on, ladies and gents. It goes on and on. We I I could talk about this all day. I've got a 100 stories I could cover, probably only covered a very small portion of them today. This is not good.
Okay? Make sure you've got yourself well positioned, set up right for all of this. I don't really know what else to say. This is this is getting worse. People don't know what they're talking about who are commenting on a lot of this.
Oh, it's all gonna be fine. Give it a couple of weeks. Everything will be back to normal. They shouldn't even have to be able to to speak on on the media when they're saying this because they're gonna cause irreparable harm and damage to families everywhere who are not gonna get prepared because they're believing these morons that say everything's gonna be fine in a couple of weeks. It's not.
Just a reminder about the channel sponsor today. Check that out in the description. Apart from that, I'll see you on the next video. Take care. God bless.
Stay safe out there. See you for the Friday walk and talk.
