During the 1980s the price of oil plummeted from 38 dollars to 16.50 iirc. Far from causing a meltdown it fueled a boom.

I agree.
Expensive energy is only desired by progressives.

Back in the ́đs Reagan was president. He had pulled off the price controls and rationing of oil and he deregulated industry a LOT. Now Obama is president and he is piling on new regulations faster than FDR ever dreamed of doing and trying to shut down oil production. He has killed coal already so gas must take up that slack. Power prices are going up and will keep going up outside of the gas stations.
