OPEC lit up the IEA's idiotic claims that fossil fuel demand will peak by 2030 due to wind, solar and EVs. The difference today, and what makes such predictions so dangerous, is that they are often accompanied by calls to stop investing in new oil and gas projects. “Such narratives only set the global energy system up to fail spectacularly. It would lead to energy chaos on a potentially unprecedented scale, with dire consequences for economies and billions of people across the world,” says OPEC Secretary General, HE Haitham Al Ghais. This thinking on fossil fuels is ideologically driven, rather than fact-based. https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/press_room/7217.htm https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/12/demand-for-oil-gas-coal-will-peak-by-2030-says-iea-chief.html https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/opec-says-iea-estimate-peak-fossil-fuel-demand-by-2030-not-fact-based-2023-09-14/
