Where would we be without low gas prices?

[Ban my account ffs!]

Economies are a system. Higher energy prices would increase drilling and alternative energy profitability which would stimulate our economy in a different way.

But ultimately it would hurt those not invested in energy development, which is most of us because more of the average person's money would be going to pay for energy regardless of where it came from.

Higher energy prices concentrate wealth while lower energy prices give spending power to a larger chunk of the population.
