Seeking Alpha author Kirk Spano joins Cheddar to discuss his view on the electric vehicle industry and how it relates to the demand for oil. He talks about fracking and the "peak" of the oil plateau.
Spano suggests that fracking is done accelerating and will most likely only produce 10-11 million barrels a day moving forward.
He believes the takeover of electric vehicles may not happen as soon as people expect. He doesn't see families giving up their cars and dropping everything to go electric. He predicts 1 billion EVs will hit the road by 2040. Additionally, Spano believes oil prices will rise a bit and worries that war may drive up the demand.
Fintech company CurrencyWorks partnered with Enderby Entertainment on a new platform called Vuele featuring the actor Anthony Hopkins in a film called “Zero Contact.” But it won't be coming to theaters or streaming — it's an NFT. Cameron Chell, founder and chairman of CurrencyWorks and co-head of Vuele, joined Cheddar’s Closing Bell to provide some insight into how it all works. Chell described Vuele as the first-ever direct-to-consumer film viewing platform that incorporates NFT tech making the movie a digital collectible, not for mass-market viewing.
