Egy erdekes resz miert megy fel tobbszorosere az olaj ara mar par szazalekos termeles visszaeses miatt is: Perhaps the best explanation of why comes from Canadian politician Jim Harris who offered an analogy involving 13 space tourists onboard a space flight to explain the connection: Once you’re up in space experiencing weightless flight, the captain announces:
"I’ve got good news and bad news. The bad news is the oxygen system can now only deliver oxygen for 12 of you. The good news is that . . . we’re instituting a bidding system to decide which 12 get an oxygen mask."
You paid $200,000 to get up into space, how much is it worth to you to make it back to the ground alive? How high would bidding go? My guess: into the millions.
Notice the simple principle – a small change in capacity (falling from 13 to 12) results in the price of oxygen going from nothing to well over $1 million per mask.
The same is true for the oil prices. The reason the passengers are willing to pay so much for oxygen is obvious: even though it only constitutes a small part of what is necessary to keep them alive, a sufficient supply is absolutely crucial. Thus, they are willing to pay through the nose for it. The same is true for much of modern industry in regards to oil. |
