IEA Predicts Peak Oil Demand This Decade, but Short-Term Forecast Shows Conflicting Trend
The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts peak oil demand this decade due to rising electric vehicle (EV) adoption, but this prediction contradicts their short-term forecast showing a 3 mb/d increase by 2030, raising concerns about the 'horizon effect' influencing long-term projections.

Nuclear Energy Poised for Record Growth, but Massive Investment Needed
The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts a record-breaking year for nuclear energy in 2025, driven by policy shifts, technological advancements (like SMRs), and growing investments; however, achieving cost parity with renewables requires \$120 billion in annual investments by 2030.
