Letter to the editor: Gas shortage

Australia's natural gas export is one of the biggest and fastest gas industry expansion ever in any region of the world. It is full of gasoline. The problem is that almost all cheap and readily available natural gas can be sent overseas.

This is the reason that energy companies provide easy work for many policies (Lib., ALP, Nats) so far. In order to keep the policy beneficial rather than consumers

Natural gas supply in eastern Australia has tripled. As a country, we saw one of the biggest gas explosions in the history of the earth, but we are told that we are not many

This is all about politics, who first allowed gas export, who to do, what to do in the coming months.

Australian families paid huge petrol costs, but most citizens want water prohibition.

If the government wants to lower the price of natural gas today, people certainly will buy more natural gas! Why? However, if you buy more natural gas, the demand will exceed the amount of natural gas that is supplied, so natural gas will run short, the gas station will be longer, the government salary will rise (because the result is good), producer There will be less natural gas supplied from. . If the government raises the price of natural gas, people will purchase less gas (I will!). The gas station is closed, the demand for energy / electric vehicles increases, and producers will claim more to compensate for expensive gas losses. Does the price of natural gas rise? I am convinced that we all are laughing at the idea that the price per gallon of gasoline is 5 dollars, but that moment seems to be coming soon!

During the shortage of gasoline in the 1970s, the government limited the price that the gas station could charge to maintain natural gas prices. As a result, a large number of people buy natural gas at the same time, leading to an increase in demand and further shortage. Basically, you can not understand the simple nature of supply and demand, the market can always find its own level. Consumers did not choose to conserve petrol substitutes or find substitutes, as they do not rise naturally in the midst of price shortages like the free market.

The power to generate wealth is not governance intervention, it is in an unintentional and deliberate behavior of the individual.

First, the government set prices between Nixon of the 1970s and Ford regime. There will be a shortage when they set the low price of natural gas. People have to wait in line, they can open a gas station until they are emptied and then closed. This made the government to have to start food. Everyone in this country is not happy. Obviously, the government should not control the price of natural gas. Because it interferes with the normal supply and demand flow in the market. What we need to do is let the market manage the price of natural gas.
