Furthermore, Elliott outlines the long-term forecast of a major energy crisis emerging from rising global demand, decreasing non-OPEC supply, and limited OPEC spare capacity. He advises investors to look at various sectors such as US refineries, oil services companies, and upstream natural gas producers as potential opportunities to mitigate and profit from the anticipated energy shortages by 2028-2030.
