Oil and gas prices might be down, but the energy sector isn't out, not by a long shot. Instead, the industry is just stuck in one of its occasional cyclical ruts, as demand has outpaced supply for the time being. Longer-term demand for energy is expected to grow in the years ahead because of population growth and an expanding middle class.
