We often hear that businesses prefer the government to step out of the way and let them run things. Regulations, policy, and so forth merely get in the way of business. So this quote from Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris is interesting:
“For years, Washington has failed to address the issue of rising energy costs, and as a result, the country now faces a true energy crisis, one that is causing serious harm to America’s manufacturing sector and all consumers of energy”
What makes the CEO of Dow say such a thing? They’ve had to raise prices across the board because of skyrocketing energy costs. And that’s bad news for all of us.
