    Perversely, government interference is a problem for existing producers, but it's also one of the key reasons prices remain high. Government interference has the overall impact of creating higher barriers to entry and therefore slows supply growth - which is one of the reasons prices remain elevated. Most governments are too stupid or ideologically driven to realise they are the problem, not the solution. It's a strange situation - the market function is essentially broken due to massive government interference which doesn't allow the supply side to respond. My view is that governments will interfere more, not less, which will help prices remain elevated.
