TotalEnergies reported record third-quarter net income, more than doubling last year's total to $8.3 billion. Against this background, the French authorities suggest that the company "be an example" and fully reflect in the prices at the gas stations the benefit from the release of strategic fuel reserves and maintain the price reduction in nuclear power plants "as long as necessary and as long as this crisis continues". By the way, discounts at gas stations that Total can afford are not available to other operators and this may distort the market. And this situation is also observed in Italy, where gas station chains are asking the authorities to set a price ceiling for gas stations. Energy today without VPN: max / site.
