If you aren’t long energy now, you probably never will be

Thankyou for the incredible wire, Dr Hofflin! I'm invested in Oil Search Holdings (ASX: OSH) and your points of the SE Asia market are giving me the confidence to invest more in their recovery. Brilliant work sir.

Wold oil price has never been affected by EVs

how about never. many of us don't want to invest in fossil fuels ever again and the world would be a much cleaner better place without them.

"the world would be a much cleaner better place without them". Still early in the month, but quite a strong contestant for the most invalid statement of October. Basic knowledge of history tells you that without fossil fuels there would be no cheap electricity, cheap transportation of people, globally available goods that would otherwise be impossible to obtain unless you were royalty and pretty much every facet of our modern lives. Including the internet, where woke opinions about green energy flourish. So there goes "better". "Cleaner", perhaps needs more than basic knowledge of history, but even an evening of online research (thank you cheap fossil fuel electricity for computer science, the internet and air conditioning) would tell you that cities before fossil fuels were much dirtier and unhygienic. Cleaning needs energy and mobility you see. Now if you are talking about the future, in which case you should have used "will" instead of "would", that is highly speculative and debateable. Rest assured that humanity is overall smarter than the individual units, and if an energy mix is indeed better it will eventually catch up. Hopefully, I believe we all agree that at the present time, dramatic shifts away from fossil fuels globally are as realistic as the pandemic ending suddenly tomorrow morning. No matter what woke westerners think, more than 50% of the planet that is developing relies on some sort of fossil fuel for reliable, cheap and equitable access to energy. Let's not forget, after China, SE Asia, we have billions of people that are keen to get out of poverty and develop their economies in India and Africa. Personally, I do agree that certain stocks like WPL do look attractive for recovery and keenly watching signs of bottoming, which probably will be after the US election.

This guy is great.

Good interview Philipp , impressive to watch

DIMITRI LAZOS. Very well said. While in the perfect world it would be great to not have to use coal, oil etc as energy sources - it's just not realistic.

Dimitri Perhaps the statement should have been "the world would be a much safer and more liveable place if Governments would face facts, show leadership and replace fossil fuels with renewables". Dimitri when your home is flattened by a cyclone or flooded by rising sea-levels or burnt down in a bushfire, or when you can't venture outdoors because average temp all year around is 50C like Dubai, then you might reflect on the stupidity of your comments World population growth has grown exponentially 0.6 bn in 1700, 1.6 bn in 1900, 3.0 bn in 1960, 4.4 bn in 1980, 7.8 bn in 2020. Life expectancy has doubled between 1500 and now. The world is GROSSLY overpopulated. Consumerism is rampant as we use more and more energy, disposable goods that we don't recycle, the sea has more plastic in it than fish, and temperatures are rising whatever the climate deniers say Deforestation and desertification increase rapidly, I was born in 1962 and the Great Barrier Reef (millions of years in the making) has been basically destroyed in my lifetime. Shame on us. Humanity is doomed to destruction fairly soon as the planet is drowning in its own filth, recurring pandemics and violent climate change. Buy your Woodside and play your part in destroying the planet. No thought for the future. Dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid, humanity will be the next mass extinction and in all honesty we absolutely deserve it! - warnings were first coming from scientists in 1980s and we have done almost nothing to change our habits.

Climate doomsday cult activists are now everywhere. You can't escape them at AGMs or on comment pages like here with insensible statements. Funny thing is they probably rely on fossil fuels for everyday basics such as clothing (plastics), transport, food harvesting, housing, heating, cooling and lighting, and they don't appear to even know it. Woodside is a well run company with Australian integrity and know how, and supplies a real need. That its share price is subject to the whims of the OPEC oil cartel and a pandemic is sad for a successful Australian company.
