Summary: Energy prices are heading up, but the CPI isn’t. What’s really happening in the energy sector, and how is it being affected by the economy at large? Dee Carter appears on the show to provide us with some insight, and emphasizes that the real concern exists in the oil/petroleum department. We’re not consuming as much right now because we had a relatively icy winter—causing people to drive less—but ultimately prices will go back up as consumption returns to normal. Although we’ve seen majo advocacy for green energy in the political space, everything that we’re doing is built around the petroleum industry, so it’s not disappearing anytime soon. With five major refineries working at 100% capacity, there is a large supply of oil that has yet to become available for use. Dee suggests that we need to be an exporter of products in order to bring the CPI down once again, and says that it is necessary to reconsider investment strategies for income going forward.
