A cut by OPEC might traditionally have moved the supply curve back up again, though has not been forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>My point is that while we may debate the relative importance of market forces and government or international policy in the transition to a low carbon energy system, it\u2019s fair to say neither has done the job yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The challenge being to look at the chart above.
