Negative pricing

In economics, negative pricing can occur when demand for a commodity drops to an extent that suppliers are prepared to pay others to take it away, in effect setting the price to a negative number. This phenomenon is usual for garbage, but has also occurred in electricity prices,[1] natural gas prices,[2] and oil prices.[3][4]
