This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

So fuel prices will go down right? Less demand for fuel due to electrification of cars and no decrease in production yet.

If fuel prices will come down (I think they will not) it would be to demand destruction. Electrification is negligible and will have no impact on diesel and bunker fuel demand, which is already scarce due to overabundance of light crude from fracking. Decrease in production is certainly expected in the near to mid-future.
