Highlights. Global oil demand is set to rise by 1.1 mb/d in 2024, 140 kb/d less than projected in last month's Report as weak deliveries, notably in Europe, shifted first-quarter OECD demand into contraction.May 15, 2024 this increase was all based on China and India ....reality their combined consumption this year actually has decreased this leaves to the reality that Oil demand is not increasing in 2024....... EV sales in China are booming........ 50 percent of the new vehicle market now and heading to 60 percent by year end the property market in China fell apart well over a year ago and yet the China economy is expanding at a healthy rate Guess you believe the Garbage OPEC puts out along with the IEA (IEA has always had crappy predictions) Sure looks like Oil is set for a fall this year and will continue its fall for the next 30 years Pesky EVs .......they have ended the increases in oil demand out of China ...Forever Edited July 8 by notsonice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The States of California, Virginia, New Jersey, and Georgia had some of the largest estimated reductions in PM2.5−attributable deaths. Relative to a counterfactual population with exposures held constant at 1980 levels, we estimated that people born in 2050 would experience an ∼1−y increase in life expectancy at birth, and that there would be a cumulative gain of 4.4 million life years among adults ≥30y of age. Conclusions: Our estimates suggest that declines in PM2.5 exposures between 1980 and 2010 have benefitted public health. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP507" Try to stay consistent. "Fine particles are of particular interest to health scientists and policy makers because of evidence from controlled human exposure, toxicological, and epidemiological studies that acute PM2.5 exposure (over hours or days) is associated with adverse health outcomes, including aggravated asthma, hospital and emergency department visits, and premature death (Brook et al. 2010; U.S. EPA 2009; WHO 2013).

Ecocharger + 1,486 DL July 9 The value of second-hand EVs has recently plummeted making EVs a poor investment choice for Green advocates. There is limited value in a second-hand EV. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Early-Adopters-Pay-the-Price-as-EV-Truck-Values-Tumble.html "Prices for used electric trucks like the GMC Hummer EV, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Rivian R1T have fallen sharply since their initial peak. Early adopters who purchased these trucks on secondary markets at inflated prices have experienced significant financial losses." "Let's start with the GMC Hummer EV, which was heavily hyped and initially sold for a staggering $275k on the auction website in April 2022. Fast forward to today, and used Hummer EVs are now selling on the same site for around $100k, aligning near GMC's listed MSRP. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another way of looking at that is you can get a used EV for cheap, and price does not equal value. Clean air and water is free (if you can still get it where you live) but is of priceless value when you are dying a slow death from COPD and CHF or thirst.

Lets see, because these "companies" ONLY way to make a so called "profit", assuming they even do that, is through government subsidies and skipping the line to the front with guaranteed pay(electricity generation for instance). None of them can stand on their own. Here is one thing NOT paid for by government subsidy: Battery Anode material via silicon doped lithium. This could make batteries actually viable as a transportation method, but that costs a horrendous amount of money. We have been able to do so going on 20+ years now, but no one can figure out how to mass manufacture it cost effectively. Using Graphite or .... is just a non starter, for something based in reality for near equivalent performance to ICE. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
