It appears that Hillary is not familiar with a simple economic concept known as ‘demand’.

Re “Demand”

I worked in China during the winter of ‘76 - ‘77. There were ZERO private automobiles in the entire country and actually very few state-owned ones as well.

Today, China has 43 - 47 million vehicles on the road — about as many as there were on U.S. roads in 1947.

Autos per 1,000 residents:
China 2008: 33 - 44
China 2015: 100
China 2030: 180 - 270
World 2008: 120
US 2008: 800

Exactly WHERE does the fuel come from to power all these new automobiles? Does her Heinous ever stop to think that this added global demand might have an impact on global energy prices?
