Oil demand just too great
Dr. David Yergin speaking about the pressures the global economy has placed on oil demand at the Joint Economic Committee. Yergin adds how he views the issues facing the supply side of economics in the oil markets.
According to Yergin, approximately 60 percent of our energy comes from oil and gasoline and one reason why the price of oil has risen 70 percent has been a shortage of the overall supply of oil itself. “There’s been a slow response of supply; why? One is the issue of access around the world, secondly is uncertainty about investment fiscal and regulatory regimes and thirdly a shortage of equipment and people,” said Yergin. (0:28)
