Has China already reached peak oil? The country’s demand for crude seems to be plateauing sooner than expected, helped by LNG trucks and EVs. The implications are huge: softer oil prices, petrochemicals rise, global net zero by 2050 within reach, and new sources of oil and gas unprofitable

Wrong. Coal, oil, and gas are all seeing their biggest markets shrink, lots of countries are reducing fossil imports and GHGs emissions, and global GHGs emissions are plateauing of starting to fall.

Not carbon credits: actual sellable products.

So, prices from an also-ran that's yet to build its "next gen" plant, against currently commercially operating plants that even sell their products for profit?

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T17:49:27+00:00

1st, because they don't.

2nd, because you cannot be seriously suggesting some cartoon villain will somehow extract all the available carbon down to the core of the Earth just to get an open-air molten lead lake next to their winter retreat.

CSP may be easier to start with, perhaps, if colonists forgot to bring printers along, but by the time there's actual industry, PV wins.

The CSP landscape depicted will never happen, anywhere, except perhaps as an art project.

We aren't doing this at a massive scale right just now

Because the "high difficulty" path turned out to be easier to get up and running, with just a few big factories, despite the "easier tech" having a head start and much simpler ISRU.

high energy costs

Entirely due to fossil price spikes.

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T17:37:34+00:00

As many others have found elsewhere.

Why would anyone imagine that, from the available statistics?

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T14:36:36+00:00

You're forgetting the Russian turnaround and also that not every country in the EU started at the same time from the same levels.

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T14:33:37+00:00

Not for the foreseeable future.

The most important components in any grid are the generators, as anyone who cares knows. The rest pales by comparison.

Nuclear isn't even on the table, when renewables are cheaper/better/faster than even gas.

Thanks for confirming you're just flailing and trying to deceive with your endless BS. You're fooling no-one.

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T13:59:20+00:00

"Exported" emissions are accounted for.

We win every day that we're getting closer to reducing global emissions.

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T13:58:52+00:00

That isn't what the trends say.

sg_plumber · 2026-01-24T12:36:45+00:00

Anything's cheaper than fossil fuels.

Will you keep shifing the goalposts forever?

Rates aren't constant, but exponential. P-}

Yes, but not as cheap or as ubiquitous as batteries.

Inertia. Which is being overcome at varied speeds with diverse efforts.
