However, for reasons explored in this book, although none of the existing economic development models fit this sector in the past and apply even less today, no satisfactory alternative has presented itself. This book highlights the important reasons why current models fail to predict energy pricing with reasonable accuracy, and ventures into environmental and other problems with oil and gas production and associated economic decisions mounting across both developed as well as developing 606 $aPetroleum products$xPrices 606 $aNatural gas$xPrices 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade 606 $aGas industry 606 $aEnergy consumption 606 $aEnergy development 615 0$aPetroleum products$xPrices. 615 0$aNatural gas$xPrices. 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade. 615 0$aGas industry. 615 0$aEnergy consumption. 615 0$aEnergy development. 676 $a333.79 686 $aBUS070040$2bisacsh 700 $aZatzman$b Gary$0859978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815897403321 996 $aSustainable energy pricing$93962260 997 $aUNINA
