China oil consumption for road transport down 9% this year.
Denmark oil consumption down 11% in 2024.
Not many similarities between the two countries but good to see the shared path before us.
A reminder that the EU spends 120bn euro per year on oil for road transport.

Americký Senát schválil návrh, který otevírá cestu k ukončení shutdownu.
USA jsou blíž k ukončení shutdownu. Senát schválil návrh, který podpořila i skupina demokratů
