Of all the times for the United States to be discouraging domestic production of Oil and Natural gas, right now might be the worst. The descent of Libya, a major oil producer, into chaos is fueling a rapid rise in oil prices, and the unravelling unrest in other oil-producing countries in the Middle East and North Africa combined with Libyan crisis will lead to oil prices that are unprecedented.
The statements above most reliably lead to which of the following conclusions?
A. The United States will be able to avoid any further price increases if it maintains its current level of production of Oil and Natural gas.
B. The shock in Oil prices may be less severe if the US maintains or even increases its current level of Oil and Natural gas production.
C. The increase in price of oil because of the chaos in Libya has been higher than any corresponding increase in the recent past.
D. If the unrest in The Middle East materializes, the price of Oil is likely to increase at a rate not experienced before by The United States.
E. The likelihood of price increases will be diminished in near future if the United States increases its investment in alternate sources of energy.
