I think your problem is that you are looking at it only from economics. You also have to look at it from the physics point of view - thermodynaics and entropy type stuff. After all what we are trying to do is get energy. Even if oil is a million bucks a barrel it is still a loosing game if it takes more energy to produce the barrel then what we get out of it. That is why it makes no sense to use oil sand or ethonal as an energy policy.
Secondly, this free market religion is very dangerous and plain wrong. There are huge tax breaks and incentives for our current oil system so we are currently not in a free market system. Also, it seems quite logical that the change is so huge that if we wait until everyone realizes this problem (when we are in severe recession) then we will not have the resources to make the changes.
