Construction crews and their heavy machines.
This affects the cost of EVERYTHING - How is that good?

If we assume that higher energy costs make your more savy on how you use your resources.
Examples:
You isolate your house better, cutting down the energy usage with upwards 50% or more.
You drive your car less, get a smaller engine, some people will have no car at all.
At the point where more people see the sense in doign this rather than just spending on energy, that so far have been the cheapest, it will reduce the global usage = prices would drop a bit (still be above the levels today though)
Also more money will be put into alternative energy sources, result will be cleaner fuel.
What if you say things is not getting expensive but just reaching a moderate level so we will stop "not giving a shit"
