Not only energy becomes expensive. Oil for cars is rare. This hits the car industry hard. Even food costs more soon. Fertilizer for fields becomes more expensive.
Also metals like aluminium cost more money. People need this for cans or cars. Experts say: Many products in daily life become expensive. A fast end of high prices is not near.
