Again, I don't believe it's possible to have intelligent discourse on this subject sans politics. And I don't mean whether one party will or won't drill. Politics affects oil, and that is the subject, like it or not, affects oil prices in many ways, from many countries' Middle East policies, to the value of our dollar, to Israel/Iran, and on and on.
Supply and demand influences on price enter at a different level. That is, that factor influences only the price resulting from the political aspects.
Wind, solar, geothermal, wave energy currently have minor, if any, effect on prices.
NG is another story. There you have real potential for keeping billions of dollars onshore. But, again, politics!
