Some side effects of the war:
Supply and then *demand* for oil is getting knocked out, at least temporarily. Total world oil demand is already down 5 million barrels per day, or 5%. An expert says “Demand destruction will come and is coming in waves. Asia was first in line…”
Meanwhile, demand for solar power is spiking.
