What will motivate people to invest in alternative energy research if oil prices are kept low?  (Not that that is your particular interest.)  On the one hand people are moaning and groaning because the US doesn't do anything to reduce carbon emissions.  On the other hand, as soon as their precious petroleum gets expensive enough to force them to change, they are ready to rape the earth and start another war.  (exaggerating for effect of course)  I would say to save those resources for future generations in case we are in a REALLY tight spot some day!
