It is known that cheap energy correlates positively with economic growth, industrial activity, and standard of living. So if cheap energy is bad for ‘the financial system’, then clearly ‘the financial system’ is the enemy of economic growth, industrial activity, and a high standard of living.

Ironically, however, the incentive to continue to produce as much as possible could merely exacerbate the period of depressed oil prices.

Of course. As long as it costs less to produce than the market is paying, they are making money.

Does destabilizing the system mean that the average citizen can again afford to buy things at lower prices?
