the switch to greener options has started and might not be easily stopped

Definitely for EU. No matter how much they love the US, they know that FF dependency is hurting them more than any one country dependency. While article says China emissions have gone up, they are likely to finish down for the year. As of summer, there is also a big drop in NG imports from China. China EV success is also reducing their oil imports/refining.

The backdrop for this is the delusion in US politics with right wing saying that we need to massively increase LNG export capacity even as their customers are rapidly reducing NG imports.
