Fundamentals (Part 2)
The long run marginal cost is only useful for existing plant, but players must understand that new build and new technology has to be planned for. In the old days under nationalised industries this was a rolling plan. Now markets have to provide this level of help. Therefore cycles of rises and falls are inevitable. read more...
