If they could just accurately and consistently predict the price of oil, they could hire Bill Gates as their pool towel boy.

Not in the long run. Becoming more dependent on OPEC is not going lower prices past the short term damage of the US oil production industry and associated jobs.

In the long run, minor fluctuation is best, since it will only cause minor disruptions in the US oil industry. If the price stayed astronomically high for too long, and exploration was increased exponentially, the industry would be much more vulnerable to Saudi over-production and a US industry-wide crash.
