So what do we tell countries?
Use measures that can economize energy.
And I have seen some countries doing exactly that.
Putting in place incentives like make public transport free,
incentivize people to take it, or work from home.
We did it during COVID.
I don't see a reason why not do more of it now.
Or switch to less energy intensive activities
over time.
So that is where we are.
I will give you just one example.
Jet fuel.
Something that I learned yesterday
is that Korea is a big producer of jet fuel.
They are an oil importer, but a jet fuel exporter.
And fortunately for the world, they
are one of the countries in Asia that
has strong reserves of oil and gas
that allows the economy to function well.
But they need new supplies.
And as I said, the tankers are slow to move.
In fact, what we have is a 20th century type of shock,
slower moving shock, in the 21st century.
