The Wall Street Journal reported the following news:
"Higher prices for natural gas and coal are forcing power-generation companies and manufacturers to consider switching to oil. The International Energy Agency (IEA) increased its demand forecast for oil in 2021 and 2022 by 170,000 and 210,000 barrels per day but the cumulative effect of the crisis could be as much as 500,000 barrels daily from September through the first quarter of 2022."
Question 2:
In November 2019, as a result of the African swine fever
crisis, one half of the pigs in China became sick and needed to
be destroyed. Source: Brown, Tanner (2019). See link:

bigger-than-you-think-2019-11-11
Using supply and demand analysis graph and explain what
effect the African swine fever crisis will have on the market
for pork in China and on the market for beef in China.
Consider the following scenario: In Great Britain, the electricity system operator publishes a wind generation forecast of 14 GW for 7 PM on the next day. On the morning of the next day, the electricity system operator revised its wind generation forecast for 7 PM down from 14 GW to 11 GW. Do you expect the wholesale electricity market price for 7 PM to increase or decrease at this time? Explain your answer.

- High-performance cars (HPCs) are automobiles with engines that generate great power relative to their weight. They boast high acceleration, speed, cornering and breaking performance. But they obviously come with a very high price tag. Some people even buy them to publicly display their wealth.
