No, not quite the shortage in the UK, but rather the panic.
And since it happened in the UK, it really shows that there is a lot of people that depend on petrol and the importance of oil in our society, despite the green push.
As for supply and demand, isn't it obvious that there is more demand than supply with the consistent drop in stockpiles across the world for the past 6 months?
What's more is that OPEC can't just increase supply due to agreement between all OPEC members. Right now, some OPEC nations can't even increase their supply due to underinvestment (Nigeria, Angola, etc.) and i'm sure they aren't prepared to lose too much of their position to Russia or SA.
The oil and gas industry needs investment.
