Headlines That I Missed -- August 11, 2022

Oilprice stories I missed while on the road:

Let's look at that last one: a radical plan to reduce Europe's oil demand by 33%; on the one-to-ten-LOL scale; time scale, by 2030:

  • accelerated electrification of cars and trucks: 10
  • boosting the fuel efficiency of ships, barges flowing down the Rhine: 10
  • scrap the suggestion regarding the Rhine: it will be dry by this time next year
  • reducing travel by switching to remote work some days of each week: 8
  • scrap the remote work suggestion; Europe won't have enough electricity to have any meaningful industry by this time next year;
  • switch from private car use to fossil-free travel: 10
  • only fossil-free travel is walking, running, and cycling, and even the latter is not completely fossil free;
  • limiting business travel by air: 10
  • shift cargo movement to:
  • across country, rail: 8
  • urban areas: cycling/walking: 10
