The high price of oil enables development of alternative forms of energy, as well as incentivizing domestic oil production.  So, let’s get on with it, set up nuclear and coal plants, develop natural gas sources, install wind and solar in those places where it pays, get moving.

Unfortunately, this increase is transitory.  It would need to be
reliably sustained for many years to make it clear that those new
plants will in fact pay off.  So, no, this doesn't even help much on
that front.
