One prediction market prices this story:

  • Gas — the market puts it at 4%, with $234 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 30 Dec 2032. The outcome is Yes if gas becomes the largest source of global primary energy consumption in 2030. The outcome is No if any other energy source holds that top spot. Readers often mistake the year 2030 for a deadline to make a decision rather than the specific time period used to determine the winner.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
