Answer 1

WHAT  ?  You sound like you work for an oil company .  High energy prices also mean that the PRICE of EVERYTHING... EVERYTHING else goes up .  

  Can you think of ONE thing , that you own that didn't at some point travel by TRUCK.  When diesel fuel is expensive the whole economy goes to h*ll . but if you are already rich then I guess you can afford the price of EVERYTHING going up!!!!

  The rest of us can't afford it!!!

Answer 2

A higher price would require government action, which would be beneficial to our society in the long run. (I like to think Economics, here.)

Say there is a supply and demand for energy. Basically, there is an almost infinite supply of energy due to wind power and other innovations using natural substances etc. There is also a high demand for energy. Since there is a high demand for energy, firms (or energy providers) can keep their costs low with the "mass production" (if you know economics think marginal cost of producing energy or economies of scale.)...however, if the demand falls for energy (people use less, or want less), the firms will have to drive their prices up in order to cover the fixed costs of supplying that energy to you. (i.e. machines, labour etc.) So if everyone does their part to cut back on electricity, it should drive the prices up...unless the government jacks up the prices.
