Oil fuelled the 20th century—its cars, its wars, its economy and its geopolitics. Now the world is in the midst of an energy shock that is speeding up the shift to a new order. As covid-19 struck the global economy earlier this year, demand for oil dropped by more than a fifth and prices collapsed. Since then there has been a jittery recovery, but a return to the old world is unlikely. Fossil-fuel producers are being forced to confront their vulnerabilities. ExxonMobil has been ejected from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, having been a member since 1928. Petrostates such as Saudi Arabia need an oil price of $70-80 a barrel to balance their budgets. Today it is scraping along at just $40.

石油推动了20世纪，包括这个时期的汽车、战争、经济和地缘政治。如今，世界正处于一场能源冲击中，向新秩序的转变也由此加速。今年年初，新冠肺炎冲击全球经济，石油需求下降超过五分之一，油价暴跌。自那之后，油价震荡回升，但不太可能恢复到过去的水平。化石燃料生产商正被迫正视自己的脆弱。自1928年以来一直都是道琼斯工业指数成分股的埃克森美孚已被移出了该指数。沙特阿拉伯等产油国需要油价维持在每桶70至80美元才能平衡预算。目前油价在40美元的低位徘徊。
