Domestic 92 gasoline prices return to the "6 yuan era"
Don't believe it, even the oil boss is boasting: "This wave of downward adjustment is much better than a continuous increase!"
A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission adjusted gasoline prices for the fourth time in a row. Among them, No. 92 gasoline was lowered by 0.6 yuan per liter to return to the "6 yuan era". The magnitude of this reduction is simply unexpected!
No matter how the price of gasoline fluctuates, the varieties consumed by the people can always trigger a warm response from the market. Since the beginning of this year, international oil prices have soared, resulting in repeated increases in domestic gasoline. The drop of 0.6 yuan this time is regarded as a slap in the face to alleviate the people's "oil shortage"!
Experts estimate that for a family car with a 50L fuel tank. The reduction in oil prices can save 30 yuan in refueling fees. While the numbers may not seem like much, for the average salaried person, this windfall is enough to warm up for an entire week.
In fact, the sharp drop in oil prices has also cooled down the minds of the real people. The previous speculation about soaring oil prices has finally come to an end after this price adjustment. It can be said that this just confirms the law of the market, and demand and supply are the fundamental reasons for affecting oil prices.
It is indeed a great pleasure to see the fall in oil prices. But from another perspective, this phenomenon has also caused some people to think deeply:
New energy vehicles are becoming more popular, and clean technologies such as electric and solar energy are gradually being promoted. Inevitably, demand for oil is weakening. As a traditional energy source, the supply of oil is already in a relative surplus. The decline was followed not only by oil prices, but also by the economic status of oil and energy.
Should we take advantage of the decline in oil prices to promote the use of cleaner and more environmentally friendly energy sources, so as not to fall back into the dreaded energy rent-seeking vortex after a short period of moderate oil prices?
It is gratifying to congratulate China on its many years of efforts to promote new energy innovation and optimize the mainland's energy structure. New energy charging piles and gas stations have blossomed everywhere in first-tier cities. On the other hand, with oil at your fingertips, isn't the air pollution and environmental damage it causes painful?
Even if the energy industry has a major opportunity, we still need to be prepared for danger in times of peace. For example, the pollution data of alternative oil sources is also troubling. The monopolistic nature of the power sector could lead to a new round of energy hoarding and rent-seeking.
Energy innovation is only the first step in a long journey. We need to promote the improvement of legislation in relevant fields. Create a fair and stable energy ecology in an open and transparent way. Otherwise, we just changed our faces, and the pain points still exist. The smoothness of the energy supply chain of the future is directly related to the security of the wealth of every taxpayer.
A lone branch will soon be controlled by others. To truly curb the global monopoly of oil, we must make greater efforts in the international landscape. In addition to supporting the domestic new energy industry, fuel cells and hydrogen energy need to be promoted to the world stage. Only by establishing a new mainstream of energy consumption can we finally get rid of the constraints of traditional fuels.
This process is full of resistance, both domestic vested interest groups and international bigwigs. But only dare to innovate and innovate breakthroughs. Only then can we avoid being left behind by the wheels of the times. Seeing only the good news of the drop in oil prices, it stopped moving forward and will eventually be unable to follow.
Everything will eventually be bright, but the road ahead is long. The baton of the times has been passed to our generation, let us fight for it together!
