Obama's Energy Price Signals: Low Prices Bad

The real question is whether or not we in fact have practically unlimited sources of cheap energy. From what I read by Simmons, Pickens and other credible authors, we are running out of easily available resources. I also believe that it will take higher prices for the market forces to stimulate an aggressive move towards exploring and developing alternatives to oil. Does this mean that we may need to ride bikes and dim the lights? Hopefully this sort of doom, gloom - and malaise - will happen only in the imaginations some of our politicians.

But... prices will have to be higher. Think positive - if most of the 700 billion dollars that we spend on imported oil will get diverted for domestic based solutions, we'll be better off. Entire new industries will be created.
