Gotcha. Petrochemical for plastics and such.

Yeah. The American hubris in thinking the closure won’t real hurt them is mind blowing. The cascade in supply chains is really only just starting.

There's something worse that high prices. Absolute shortage. And no country experiencing this shock the way Asia is right will no go back to status quo ante on importing lots of oil.

We say that now, but I don’t buy that. After the crisis is over people forget very quickly when convience comes back.

Look at our supply chains, after Covid you think we would have learned about trying to keep most of it in house or having stock on hand. But it isn’t as cheap or convenient as just in time delivery.

Just ii Time has been cheaper, but never , ever convenient.

The twin energy shocks of the 70s and the low oil prices that follow say otherwise. And back then there were no real alternatives. Now there are. And whatever you or I think sitting comfortably in Canada isn't relevant. Oil demand growth for at least a decade has been driven by China and the developing world. Somehow don't think they are interested in increasing their exposure to US Foreign Policy after this.
