The oil and gas industries need to see the writing on the wall here - if they want to return to the normality they (and we) previously enjoyed, they will need to turn that profit made in other parts of their business into reduced energy costs, or else many countries will simply nationalise them, and bill payers either will not, or will be unable to pay.
