美國能源部長週四參觀西維基尼亞的礦場後發表了新的供需法則

"供給給下去 需求就上來了"
(黑人問號?)

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry sparked disbelief on Twitter Thursday after
he tried to offer an economics lesson while touring a coal plant in West
Virginia.

"Here's a little economics lesson: supply and demand. You put the supply out
there and the demand will follow," Perry said, responding to a question about
a shale gas boom in comments captured by S&P Global Market Intelligence
reporter Taylor Kuykendall.

"The market will decide which of these — they're going to pick and choose,"
Perry continued at Longview Power Plant. "I mean, that's really pretty simple.
All too often, you have in the last eight years, you have an administration
that was over here putting its thumb on the economic scale as well as the
technology scale because they said this is where we want to go."

A reporter attempted to ask a follow-up question about the prevalence of shale
gas, which Perry called a "good thing," before West Virginia's Democratic Sen.
Joe Manchin took over the question.

It isn't entirely clear what Perry meant -- and the Department of Energy did
not respond to a request for clarification -- but Perry's definition of supply
and demand does not match the long-held economic theory that describes the
interaction between the supply and the demand of a product or service. The
gist of the theory is, if the supply for a product is low but its demand is
high, the product's price is likely to increase. If a product's supply is high
and the demand for a product is low, however, the product's price is likely to
drop.

Perry may have been referencing Say's law of markets, an economic theory that
argues supply is the origin of demand.
