The US Department of Energy, Energy "Information" Agency was even less realistic the previous year.

...Oil is now projected to cost an inflation adjusted $54.08 per barrel in 2025 vs. last year's estimate of $32.95...

That would be Sino$ which will be trading at approximately 40 US$ to 1 Sino$ in January 2025, making the oil price about US$ 2200 ;)

I wonder what inflation adjustment thet are using? Consumer CPI, core CPI, GDP deflator CPI... or a realistic CPI measure?

But taking a more practical pespective... they couldn't suddenly switch to a realistic estimate - that would have made their previous estimates look silly ( ho ho ho ) so they'll probably increase their estimate by about 50% per year and: hey presto, by 2024 it will be nearly accurate ;)
