Raising energy and transportation prices has a knock-on effect onto
almost every other good and service in the economy.

If the price of oil goes up, then the price of petrol goes up, then the
price to transport raw materials to make the FooWidget goes up, thus the
price of FooWidgets goes up etc. etc.
