Adi Imsirovic’s guest column, “OPEC Must Help Oil Producers Through Energy Transition” (Opinion, July 31), highlights how OPEC’s actions are hindering the shift to cleaner energy.
The column accurately notes that OPEC, particularly Saudi Arabia, is limiting oil production to keep prices high and balance budgets. This strategy maintains elevated oil prices even when demand is low.
