But world demand for crude oil keeps increasing.
“A relatively subdued global oil demand forecast persists for both 2012 and 2013, resulting from the weak economic backdrop,” the report said, with global demand for oil rising just 1 percent with estimated output for 2012 averaging 89.6 million barrels per day (mb/d) and rising to a meager 90.5 mb/d average in 2013.

That's great new but unfortunetly not where we should be. We should be dropping by 10-15% per year
Since there are more and more people on this world, even if everyone in the world buys hybrids that will not be enough to get off oil |

Does anyone think that the extreme triple digit temps. during that time period
would help to discourage excessive travel much beyond normal work/life commutes??? I think more people suspended their FUN to hole up somewhere from the heat! And no; I don't believe in global warming; this is more like judgement/wakeup call. That's all I'm saying... I'm not getting political/religious here. Late August, early Sept., are still cooler many places. Let's see how those #'s pan out. |
I think more people sit in idling vehicles with the A/C running :)
