Upcoming oil shocks will destroy the world economy and total consumption will collapse. We might have another world war where even more energy infrastructure is wiped out. China (the winners of the world war) will help rebuild the world from the ashes with clean energy. The table is set.

    So it's apocalyptic wishful thinking as usual, got it.

    Apocalyptic, eh sure I guess.

    Wishful? Not at all.

    • premise: China will rebuild the world with clean energy
    • premise: oil reduction will devastate the world economy
    • premise: oil consumption will reduce.

    Oil reduction has already been hit. Energy markets are in chaos. Demand reduction has already occurred. Many people, like myself, are buying solar panels, EVs, electric scooters, electric bikes, battery systems, etc. The source of this is China.

    The EU went from being over a decade behind their emissions targets to being over a decade ahead. A leap of 25 years in a short timespan.
