The timing of this debut is hilarious to me. So, they build the largest boat to increase the exportation of oil but, simultaneously the need for oil is diminishing. I don't care what forecasters have to say because, at the end of the day oil prices will definitely continue to sink. It may go up for a while, but it surely will sink. Renewable energies are taking their market by storm and destroying the need for the anti-green oil industry. For example, India, a country that in theory could add extremely large value to oil, is one of the fastest growing renewable energy markets in the world. Not to mention, other countries with a smaller potential demand are doing the same. I love the idea of "the new biggest ship", but it's purpose humours me

Did you read the article? It is producing gas, not oil. It is much easier to move gas from Australia to China than from North America.

That whole comment was a mistake. I completely missed the point's of the article.

It's for natural gas, not oil. It's a huge liquefaction facility for LNG.
