The Nimby short circuit of Italy thirsty for oil

Since the 1970s, when the Club of Rome predicted an end to oil soon, theoil peak from year to year it slips further. Today the new slip. This year, unfortunately, the world demand for crude oil will grow again, it will reach 102.3 million barrels per day, but fortunately by the end of the decade we will see the change of pace and the peak of consumption is expected for 2028 (IEA-IEA data, June 2023). In 2022 the Italians protected the environment and reduced the extraction from bad national deposits: the extraction of methane from the 1,603 active wells and from the 138 platforms in our seas dropped again and dropped to 3.4 billion meters cubes; that of crude oil fell to 4.4 million tons.
