13 Dec, 2016 | While some government officials insist that we change to the Venezuelan rentier, lately the government of Venezuela has made its best efforts to stabilize oil prices at the international level.
while we must seek new alternatives of income that do not come only from the exploitation of oil, it is not less true that the rich countries should pay a premium price for a non-renewable energy that does not finish to take steps certain to other forms of energy, more environmentally friendly and less polluting.
Will be crucial in the energy policy of the new american president Donald Trump to understand your strategy in the medium and long term. As a man of business that it is, I think that will look to balance the price upwards, to allow the management and financing of the new extraction technology called "fracking", which is not another thing that the hydraulic stimulation highly polluting of the sites to get down to the last drop of oil to your spaces.
north America has been a pioneer of this alternative that has brought headaches to the countries that are traditionally producers, including our own. Two important resolutions have occurred in the last few weeks in relation to world oil production.
The first was the decision of the countries of OPEC to cut by 1.2 million daily production and the second the 600,000 barrels that countries are Not OPEC also agreed this weekend to trim.
The perception of the market is positive because as the price of Brent and WTI has propped up above 50$ a barrel, which was not the case several months ago. The active participation of this agreement of countries such as Mexico, Russia and Oman, to mention a few, it is important to effectively produce a balance of prices. A war of production between countries, OPEC and Non-OPEC would lead to a crash again of the price of black gold for the happiness of the consumer countries of the first world.
The reflection which concerns us is that while there are producing countries such as Norway, Dubai, etc, that have managed to overcome their crisis of prices, and effectively develop diversified economies, not concentrated solely on the sale of oil, in Venezuela all the governments since decades ago and always hope for a recovery of prices to save themselves, not caring much for the future and focus on solving immediate problems of liquidity that have nothing to contribute to a better country in terms of its economic activity.
The only speech does not solve this problem. Venezuela has been and will continue to be, even for a long time, mono-production for the comfort and complicity of their rulers.
