It's a sobering article. Predicting the economic future is always going to depend on numerous variables. Hopefully it won't be this bad.

I'm so happy that I have an electric car and solar at home to power it

Oil is also essential in production of many other products such as medicines and fertilisers. Good luck photosynthesising.Β 

I'm well aware

The stupidest thing to do with oil is to burn it

My point still stands. My EV means that I'm less affected than some

I'm happy you do too. Please do your best to share you experience and knowledge with as many as possible, even if they seem like they don't want to hear it, they need to.

Suicide bombers ...in America I think they are called mass shooters.

white supremecists are too cowardly to be suicide bombers.

Every oil company and exporting nation: Drill baby, drill!

Long term, we will see Guyana and Venezuela added into the market, neither of which can be hampered by Iran or Yemen, and both of whom have massive reserves.

venezuela might be too costly since thier oil is very difficult to refine, something about it being heavy oil, might be more expensive than it cost to sell. hence why we hear almost no more news about VENEZUELA in recent months.

Well oil prices being high makes transportation more expensive which makes everything more expensive

electric prices are already up due to AI data centers in many states. thats why they are trying to get INDIA to build them, no regulations and less oversight.

Oil prices skyrocketed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well. Markets react to world events. Shocking.

I don't worry about it - I'm playing the long game.
