I certainly find it implausible that there will be anything other than a long term rise in energy prices. However, what I question is an assumption that the political response will necessarily be constructive. I can see politicians resorting to all sorts of gimmicks to get the monkey off their backs until they are out of office. The American public has a strong tendency to fall for snake oil and quick fixes.
