In recent years, the demonization of oil and gas, or as Wood described it—the “political attack”—on fossil fuels, has reduced investment in the fossil fuel industry, which still supplied 84 percent of global energy demand in 2020. “The issue for me is not the oil price, the issue is the pandemic. The oil price is gonna go higher in a fully reopened world because nobody’s investing in oil but the world still consumes fossil fuels,” Wood told CNBC. Much higher oil prices would escalate the inflation fears, he added. Although the oil market currently frets about the potential impact of the new Covid variant on global oil demand, consumption will sooner or later rebound again, even if it dips in the coming months. At that point, be it in 2022 or 2023, supply could be struggling to meet demand, also because of the shrinking capacity within the OPEC+ group to boost production." You said Biden policy would cause a US oil shortage. Now there seems to be plenty of oil without using government lands. President Biden's calls on OPEC to increase production earlier this year were received poorly by the U.S. shale patch, which believes it can take care of the supply problem. US producers just don’t believe the hype or the BS. Now let’s remind US producers of the flaring you can see from space. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precedents are against the ill-considered cancellation, which has placed oil transport into trucks instead of pipelines. Pipelines are safer. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-22/keystone-developers-seek-15-billion-from-u-s-for-cancellation "Such investor-state dispute settlement claims by corporations against the U.S. are relatively rare, and the U.S. has a good track record in winning them. However, companies have emerged victorious in similar international disputes. Most notably, in March, Germany agreed to pay $2.9 billion to Sweden’s Vattenfall AB and other utilities, as part of a compensation package resolving a decade-long battle over the country’s decision to phase out nuclear power. Biden’s decision to rescind a presidential permit his first day in office -- without another round of government analysis on the long-studied project -- gives TC Energy an “extremely strong case” under Nafta language barring arbitrary discrimination, said Gary Hufbauer, a Washington-based senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “TC has a great legal case going in,” Hufbauer said. “This was well out of the norm of customary government behavior.”" Buden put the Canadians out their misery. Their tar sands are by far the tightest oil being extracted anywhere. Trump just wanted to milk them for their state subsidies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However more lithium swells and requires other ingredients like cobalt, nickel etc so the swelling doesn’t degrade the battery as much. So there is your trade off.
