I thought some members on here said the world peaked in oil usage and it is in decline? I guess that was false lol

Countries with the most oil and who they're selling it to
Recent news has reminded everyone of the importance of oil in modern politics. Have it be the court's decision to block efforts to mine for oil in the Arctic Ocean, speculation that Venezuela's oil industry can solve its problems, or U.S. oil production dropping for the first time in six months after a spree that saw record gains in oil prices, there's no denying that oil drives the news and society as a whole.
With global oil demand rising by 1.3% in 2018, the demand for oil is higher than it has ever been before. Besides being used in fuel distillation, crude oil is also an essential manufacturing component used to make plastics, machine lubricants, packing wax, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fabric, and industrial chemicals such as sulfuric acid, asphalt, paraffin.
While alternative refinement methods like hydraulic fracturing and bitumen extraction have significantly extended the world's oil supply, oil is so essential that the theoretical threat of running out haunts conversations about global oil usage.
To understand how much oil the world produces and determine countries with the world's largest reserves, Stacker examined the most recent data on proven crude oil reserves and crude oil production from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Among the criteria examined are the volume of proven crude oil reserves, daily production in barrels per day, and nations producers primarily sell to. This review focuses only on proven or independently documented oil reserves, and additional information on petroleum exports came from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Collective Learning Group.
For some nations, such as Syria, currently in a state of war or under international sanctions, Stacker limited observations to facts that are known to the international community. The amount of crude oil reported may not reflect oil that was mined but burned due to an inability to sell or reserves destroyed by war or terrorism. Oil reserves are an estimate based on the amount of crude oil located in a country and the country's ability to extract under their current technological capability.
Crude oil reserve data for all countries except for the U.S. are accurate as of 2019. The most recent crude oil reserve data for the U.S. are from 2018. Petroleum exports data for all countries are accurate as of 2017. Countries included in this list are ranked by volume of proven oil reserves.

Hoid has no idea what those declining peaks in the tesla graph mean...because he doesn't know how money is actually made in the market.


Elon Musk in Trouble: No Grownup Pre-Approved His Tesla Production Tweet
February 26, 2019
After Elon Musk a week tweeted a week ago that Tesla will make “around 500K [cars] in 2019,” then quickly corrected/clarified to say Tesla will actually deliver “about 400K” cars, the Securities and Exchange Commission asked a federal judge to hold the Tesla CEO in contempt.

The alleged offense: being a repeat offender. Because Musk’s past off-the-cuff social media posts on Tesla have contained “material” information that were misleading in the past, a 2018 consent decree with the SEC required Tesla’s board of directors to set up a committee that would read and approve Musk’s tweets, and if Musk changed the wording, he had to to go back to the committee to get approval again. The SEC says he failed to do that last week talking about production and deliveries:

Tesla Forecast May Undermine Musk Legal Defense, JPMorgan Says
April 4, 2019, 7:49 AM EDT

Tesla Inc. stood by its forecast for full-year deliveries on Wednesday, despite a sharp drop in quarterly car deliveries, a move that could end up being more significant than it appears.

Shares plunged as much as 10 percent in pre-market trading, to about $262 versus Wednesday’s close at about $292. The stock had already fallen more than 12 percent this year through Wednesday, while the S&P 500 Index has risen nearly 15 percent.

If they didnt have a straight shot thru the city it would have taken 12hrs leaving only Levan and Anus Avenue for North/South traffic.

OPP spokesperson Kerry Schmidt said the incident began around 7 a.m. on Highway 410.

He said the trucks then went over to Highway 401, then moved on to Highway 427, then over to the Gardiner Expressway and then back.
Trucks can be heard admittedly blaring their horns while driving down the Gardiner Expressway, as seen in video posted on social media.
Police said they are currently working with organizers and are monitoring the protest.
