In the 1970s and 1980s the rate of increase was 2 %, because energy prices were high.

The economy, of course, has felt an impact from higher energy prices.

We are seeing the effects of energy prices every day on the news now.

Energy prices have dropped almost 10 percent the last year.

But in my mind there's a difference this time because of high energy prices.

Even with low energy prices, we are obviously not in a position to do this.

What if more jobs are lost, or energy prices continue to rise?

But tax relief is also a very important way to help deal with high energy prices.

Have to admit though, I've not seen any evidence of lower energy prices.

Another reason is more expensive production, because of higher energy prices, among other things.
