Always fun to chat with Paul Chapman We cover a lot of ground in this episode. From the fuel demand outlook to EV adoption rates here in the US and globally, their expected impacts on refining and US downstream, and the impact and opportunities we are seeing with AI, especially in trading and supply. Hope you will give it a listen. If you do and think we are off base or have questions about what we cover, post comments here and we can debate and discuss! Some questions we try to answer: So have we seen peak gasoline? Why is EV adoption so different in the US vs China and the EU? How can your traders do more and make you and themselves more money with help from AI? How can we leverage AI and protect our data and competitive advantages?
