         Sorry. Energy prices do not reflect reality because : 

        1) the currency in wich prices are measured is being debased. Fiat
money is a fraud and the only cause of inflation. It's not that oil prices
are getting higher - reality is that purchasing power is being destroyed by
the govt.

        2) The production of energy is being hampered to suit 'green' leftie
regulations...and 'green' voters.

        3) The oil industry is a cartel (thanks again to state regulation).
Notice that the green are really helping the oil cartel, whether they
inteded to or not...

        4) Oil sources are nationalized (communism).
        
        So the price of energy is daylight robery. In a REAL free-market
energy would be  WAY cheaper.

        Economics is not an engineering problem. Unless you are talking
about social engineering...wich many people seem to be doing.
