"There is a new type of crime in the UK - criminals steal large tanks of cooking oil.

Others deceive businesses by posing as recycling teams.

The stolen oil is then processed into biodiesel and sold on the black market.

This once again shows how resourceful criminal gangs are. Because they are looking for profit anywhere, and with the rising cost of fuel, their market is only thriving.

All this is taking place because Europe imposed "Sanctions" upon Russia over the Special Military Operation into Ukraine.   It is Europe who banned Russian oil and Gas.  Then Europe had to go elsewhere to find replacement for the oil and gas they banned.

The only places they could find other oil and gas, were places that were already supplying other countries.  So when Europe came to that market, the prices went up: Supply-and-Demand!

Thus, Europe has done this to itself by refusing to mind their own business when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine matter.

Europe and all the rest of the world could still be paying about $2.00 a gallon for gasoline and heating oil, but the Sanctions Europe imposed set all the price hikes in motion.

THe skyrocketing cost of fuel for energy is a self-imposed harm.
