Webber: Oil and gas conflicts risk being replaced by water wars
“But I worry that we're going to replace oil resource wars, or what we're seeing today, natural gas resource wars, with water resource wars. There have been water wars in the past. I'm worried that we'll have more water wars. That, that's something I really am …”

Yergin: The energy transition shifts dependency from big oil to big shovels
“And that's, you know, in, in, in the new map, the way I phrased it, is you go from big oil to big shovels, because you're going to need so much more mining, and the volume of mining, I think, is just not really recognized.”

Corbeau: Hydrogen requires over 3,000x the volume of oil for equivalent energy
“If I were to compare that with oil, so the ratio between oil and natural gas is about 1000. So between hydrogen and oil, we are talking about a factor which is largely over 3000. So if you want to transport the same energy as in one cubic meter of oil, well, y…”

Apr 11, 2024 neutral
Insight
Bordoff: Critical mineral supply shocks do not disrupt daily energy use like oil

Nat Bullard: IEA projects 5M barrels per day global oil oversupply
“The IEA estimate for the beginning of the year is about five million barrels per day of supply in excess of demand. That is a lot. That's, Also about five percent oversupply based on based on the current demand of around a hundred and a little bit million barr…”
