The energy industry is comprised of all activities involved in extracting, processing, and distributing natural resources to create energy. While it includes alternative energy sources, it is dominated by the production of petroleum and natural gas. The petroleum sector has always been unstable as disturbances in the supplier regions may greatly affect the supply, which in turn affects prices. Though bad for the consumer, the rise in the price per barrel of crude oil is good news for oil companies.
