Har lige problemer med at forstå et afsnit (markeret med fed) i nedenstående tekst fra: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08...
"... Now that gasoline is falling from its high, however, analysts are wondering whether that trend will turn around. The oil shocks of the 1970s and 1980s led to surging prices and sharp cutbacks in consumption. But they were followed by a long period of low energy prices, and as a result, consumption rose again.
"We've been there before, in the late 1970s, and the question is will we be there again if the price crashes," said Lee Schipper, a transportation expert and visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.
Because many developing countries subsidize their energy costs, preventing them from rising too much, falling demand in the industrial world will be more than offset by growth in emerging markets like China and the Middle East. Global oil consumption is still expected to grow by about 1 percent this year, or 790,000 barrels a day, according to the latest forecasts by the International Energy Agency. That is half of the rate of growth in demand during the 1990s... "

siger at udviklings landene giver tilskud til olie så prisen holdes kunstigt nede, den faldende efterspørgsel i den industrielle verden vil blive offset "sat igang" af vækst i nye markeder i vækst som kina middel østen osv, dog ikke nok i forhold til nedgangen andre steder

#1 Nu begynder det at give mening, men der er stadig "offset":
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/...
offset (plural offsets)
Anything that acts as counterbalance; a compensating equivalent.
Today's victory was an offset to yesterday's defeat.
Bliver det så ikke til:
"Fordi udviklingslandendes regeringer yder bistand i form af subsidier til deres olie-afhængige industri, holdes prisen kunstigt nede. (Deraf følger en øget produktion og investeringer i Kina, mellemøsten etc.) hvorved den faldende efterspørgsel på olie fra den vestlige industri (USA, Europa) modsvares af stigende efterspørgsel på det asiatiske marked." ?
