But the metastasising web of price controls, subsidies, export restrictions and hoarding, while understandable, threaten to make the shortages worse especially for the world’s poorest people. Most government interventions attempt to mitigate the impact of energy shortages on low income households and essential businesses by shifting some of the burden onto other groups. Export bans, price controls, rationing, subsidies, taxation, borrowing and debt all attempt to shift the distribution of costs and benefits from the one that would prevail under pure market forces. But while the distribution may change the total amount of demand restraint or destruction to meet reduced supply remains the same. In practice, government interventions are most likely to shift the burden from higher-income countries that can afford to subsidise fuel use to poorer countries that cannot.
