The UK government has announced a series of measures to tackle the diesel shortage, including setting up a temporary refinery. The country is currently experiencing one of its worst-ever shortages in diesel fuel supplies. This is due to the fact that so many people are stockpiling it before the tax on it increases on January 1st. The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, said that a temporary refinery would be set up in Wales and would help ensure there was enough fuel for people to get around.
Sunak also said that new incentives would be introduced for people who use less fuel by installing devices such as eco-boosts and other modifications to their vehicles. He added that this would not only reduce congestion but also help tackle climate change.
