Impact on oil demand and prices of the new U.S. fuel efficiency standards.
05/13/2011
Oil demand could drop by as much as 2.6 million barrels a day by 2025, as a result of the new U.S. fuel efficiency standards for 49 mpg by 2025. Fuel efficiency gains in China, India and other emerging market countries and increasing stability in the middle east, and the technological advances for low environmental impact shale oil could change the entire dynamic of world oil demand and prices. This happened in an earlier period of fuel efficency gains in the 1980's resulting in low crude oil prices.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
