Where this comes from
Where the headlines come from, and what we do with them.
- The GDELT Project. An open index of news published in every country. We ask it, in each language, for articles about fuel, oil and charging. It gives us the headline, the publisher, its country and the time it first saw the article. gdeltproject.org
- Publishers' own public news feeds. For each language of the site we also read the RSS feeds that national news outlets, motoring clubs and electric-mobility magazines publish for exactly this purpose: franceinfo, tagesschau, ANSA, Europa Press, SVT, Yle, Agerpres, Interfax, OilPrice.com and others. We take the headline, the date and the link, nothing else.
- U.S. Energy Information Administration, Today in Energy. English. A work of the US government, in the public domain. Marked “Official source” on its rows. eia.gov
- GOV.UK, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. English. Published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Marked “Official source” on its rows. gov.uk
- European Commission, Weekly Oil Bulletin. The prices in the weekly block above; reproduction is allowed with the source acknowledged. energy.ec.europa.eu
We copy no article text and no pictures. A row is a headline, a date and a link to the publisher. The date is when the article was first seen, which is usually the day it came out. The list is filtered by rule and not picked by hand: the headline itself must name fuel, oil or charging, a story appears once, and no publisher fills the list. We do not rank or write headlines, and we are not responsible for what the publishers write. Telegram channels are not read: Telegram has no open feed for websites.
