Wearing red may be able to boost your energy. Red is the color of action. "It's the psychological primary color of the body, so it can help us wake up, keep our attention, and even increase our heart rate," she told BI. "I like to wear this color when I'm really fatigued." Red can also be a great color to wear when you need to keep things highly energized, like when you're working out.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Missiles and drones are flying in the Red Sea, disrupting one of the world's key trade arteries and a chokepoint for energy shipments headed for Europe. Last year, 12.9% of Europe's LNG went through the Red Sea from suppliers in the Middle East, mainly Qatar. That means “an extended shut-in of the Red Sea route from the Middle East poses a supply risk to Europe,” said Kaushal Ramesh, vice president at Rystad Energy. So far, there's been little to no impact on natural gas prices. Europe is getting a break because demand for natural gas is weak amid a sluggish economy.

BERLIN, March 2 (Reuters) - Germany's policy response to the energy crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine is "very mixed," Claudia Kemfert from German economic research group DIW said on Thursday. Kemfert said in an interview with Reuters TV that some steps that had been taken by Berlin on the expansion of renewable energy were in the right direction. Germany had not faced energy supply problems over the winter thanks to mild temperatures and high gas storage levels and looking ahead to the next Kemfert said it was "well prepared". But energy savings by companies and households remain extremely important, she said, adding that the German government's gas and electricity price caps meant that people felt they could rely on the state to soften the cost blow. "That is indeed a big problem and can result in the savings potential not being achieved," Kemfert said.
