Sure it is. We all proved to the oil companies we'd pay whatever price they want. Supply and demand.

Hmm. We used to pay 3K for 386 computers. Now we pay a lot less for more powerful computers. We proved we would pay 3K for computers, why did the computer companies ever lower prices? I don't know anything about biology, and therefore don't opine on it. Why people who don't know anything about basic economics insist on sharing their opinion on it I have no idea.

There are some factors that differentiate computers from oil and gas. For one, it has become cheaper to produce computers, but unfortunately that hasn't happened in producing oil and gas. It costs more to drill. It's more difficult to find large reserves etc. Oil and Gas is a traded commodity. Computers are not. It's a little disingenuous to compare the two and then state that someone else doesn't understand economics.
