You missed the recent reports showing that new investment is flowing into diesel, in response to demand pressures. That shows a market on the way up. You want to skip over the last 12 months? That shows your lack of inderstanding of how the markets function, they change month to month. A market on the way up???????????????????????????? The diesel market is now 40% lower than a year ago: You are really showing your desperation! Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, you are playing cherry-picking with the business cycle and the oil cycle. The markets for oil coming off a multi-year high twelve months ago. Possible recession looming. So what? So nothing. Give us some real analysis. You really are desperate to cherry-pick volatile markets. Some joke. Edited June 26, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay McKinsey + 1,490 June 26, 2023 Yes I am cherry picking all that is happening today! What an imbecile you are! The business cycle is fine in the West and the demand for oil is just average. But the demand for coal is very weak. Oil is next and then natural gas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boat + 1,323 RG June 27, 2023 On 6/24/2023 at 5:30 PM, Jay McKinsey said: Yes, Xi's great goal is to turn China into a self sufficient economy. They aren't even close and have no chance of getting there between demographics and their utterly corrupt and screwed up domestic economy. For example their domestic economy depends very much on the value of housing for living and investing. This created a huge savings rate but for a self sufficient consumer economy they need to decrease the savings rate and increase the consumption rate. These are mutually exclusive and contradictory goals. When you chase foreign business out you create large holes in all parts of your economy. Chinas economy may never come back as foreign companies continue to leave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boat + 1,323 RG June 27, 2023 for around 60+ years average oil demand went up 1.5 mbpy. Since the peak in 2019 oil demand has been stagnet. Oil is a huge important market but let’s face it.

I have read a few threads on here where rivers are running dry or very close to it which is affecting hydropwer in places such as California without lithium being mined on mass scale, so that would be my main concern, is there actually enough water to sustain the ecosystem and produce lithium???

The lithium brine comes to the surface from geothermal wells. This mining causes no harm to the environment and is 100% green. Some of the proceeds will go toward fixing the ecological disaster that is the Salton Sea. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lithium is toxic for human life. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499992/#:~:text=Lithium toxicity signs are obvious,-threatening condition. "Lithium toxicity signs are obvious and can be identified and managed easily; however, ignoring it can be fatal. Indeed, in some cases, lithium toxicity can lead to coma, brain damage, or even death. Moreover, lithium can induce serotonin syndrome, a potentially fatal and life-threatening condition. The use of serotonergic drugs or drugs inhibiting serotonin metabolism concomitantly with lithium will increase the risk of lithium precipitating serotonin syndrome."
