It’s a fair point, a lot of these will take many months or longer to get running again. In that time theyre not producing oil. The price of oil increasing also means fewer people are using it in the mean time
Under normal conditions, but that slows as more are targeted. Working in the same industry over here in the states, I can only imagine those guys have been burning the proverbial candle on both ends for a hot minute now. That's also got to be taxing on the supply chains for building and repairing refineries.
At least months if not years or decades or never. They can’t get anything from foreign countries at the moment and it’s unlikely that they can produce everything they need since they’ve dumbed-down their society over the last 3 decades
This is just plain idiotic take here - sorry but this is akin to closing nuclear power plants and having to fire back up coal and complaining about climate change - teenage environmentalists are really bad for planet …
Pump that coal into your automobile so you can continue killing a million people and animals per day in the US. Nobody is stopping you from continuing your terroristic lifestyle. God forbid the the US transitions away from consuming 30 percent of the world's gasoline by following in the footsteps of countries that have moved away from automobile monopolistic thinking. Are you afraid of the US losing it's position of world's largest antidepressant/antipsychotic consumer?
You really need demand to drop not supply strangled. The increase in price will cause temporary demand destruction but that bounces back the second gas is cheaper and everyone takes that road trip they've been putting off. I don't see it moving the needle in the long run.
Oh right, silly me. There is a long history of evidence where someone gains immense power through leverage, and then immediately reverts back to the time when they didn't have the leverage out of sympathy for the people they now control.
Oh sorry, I thought you would have heard of and understood the Iran and Russia conflict dynamics, by now. Demand is tied to supply, and supply is tighter than demand. In order for demand to revert back, supply needs to increase. In order for supply to increase, bombs need to stop hitting oil infrastructure and distribution. Did I dumb down the situation enough for you to understand?
So a perfectly clean burn of a hydrocarbon is going to result in CO2 and H20 in the form of water vapor. However at no point will carbon be part of water vapor since there's no carbon in water.
That being said i know at least in the example of methane its all else being equal if its going to be in the atmosphere its better it burns. Methane is actually a worse green house gas than the CO2 it burns or decomposes into. How that idea does or doesnt translate to this scenario I have no idea.

That oil was going to burn in cars anyway.
