US oil demand has never recovered

  1. While Mish’s chart is quite informative re: the demand side of the equation, I would argue that the rise in oil prices is predicated at least as much on the SUPPLY side. Thus, even if consumption (demand) is not where it used to be, it is still rational for the price to rise given the dwindling supplies and the uncertainty in the market around this supply, exacerbated by idiotic domestic energy policy.
