Reminds me of a joke, the punch line of which starts with the words "Yeah, I get slapped a lot, but..."
And of course if natural gas prices shot through the roof India would ask Qatar to charge more than the contracted price.
Weren’t we told how “smart” and “savvy” India and China were a couple years ago when the new mercantilism was all the rage and “buying up the supply” of energy was critical?
Weren’t people who argued for free markets in energy ridiculed as being “behind the times”?
Lesson: Bet against the free market at your own risk.
