Peak oil which is usually focused on supply. What the story talks about his oil demand is peaking sooner than a lot of governments, a lot of executives may have thought. That is down to several factors. Electric cars are really gaining in popularity. Chinas growth has slowed and there is pushback on a mission for cleaning up the environment. That has led to a quicker slowdown in demand for oil, obviously coupled with extraordinarily low prices. That is pressing on the demand side of the equation. Oliver what i thought was interesting is that when you think about potential peak demand for oil, there is a lot of cataclysmic theories you can come up with because so much of the worlds biggest powers rely on that for income. In the story none of these institutions really seem too alarmed about it yet. Megan i think it will get more alarmed.

So many of the worlds biggest powers rely on that as a source of their biggest income them as one of the biggest sources of income. They are trying to reinvent deal with whato is going to be the decline of oil which has always been predicted but does not this rapidly. Obviously, this has the biggest ramifications for the middle east. In the u. S. , we remember talking about oil and dependence for the u. S. Where we had fracking, National Natural gas.
