No.
When the oil is too expensive it is you who decide to restrict your consumption at the pump, because of your wallet.

Public demand will drop. Mail there will not be an "instance" which will decide on the assignment.

It's like the Greeks who reduced their demand for fuel oil this winter. More average.

Oil would be yesterday's fuel

03/08/2013 - According to the English weekly newspaper The Economist.

The cover of this week's famous English magazine The Economist does not leave much room for ambiguity. We learn that oil is an outdated fuel, for which world demand will soon drop.

It would be the best news of the year, but the joy brought by this cover, alas, does not last. We learn indeed that the energy that will replace oil, is not wind, let alone solar, but ... Natural gas, including shale gas. The magazine also discusses technical progress, which will increase the yields of passenger cars, but one can only be amazed by the lack of long-term vision of this magazine so famous. It is more than likely that natural gas will soon (replace) oil, but what does that change?

In Qatar, Shell operates the huge Pearl factory that converts natural gas to diesel, and if there is a difference, it is little more than the aspect of the raw resource. Natural gas traditionally had the advantage of being less polluting in its combustion, but now that we are developing shale gas with all its poisoned pots, the argument is no longer worth much. Government actions (or rather the lack of actions) confirm every day that the energy transition is just a wet firecracker, and if the event now is to replace one fossil energy with another, we will have to continue to dream of renewable energy for a long time ...

demand for liquid hydrocarbon will not fall, supply will fall ...

that fossil hydrocarbons are "dinausorian", it is quite relevant, historically, they come from hundreds of millions of years before us, and physically, they are already a dead end, by their rarefaction and through their CO2 emissions.
