Why would you reduce prices on finite resource?



To counter OPEC artificially limiting supply to keep prices high.


Still I don't get why lower oil prices could be any good to anyone. It make gas guzzling technologies unreasonably economical, lowers necessity for technological progress and makes people burn finite resource that's needed for making a lot of 20-21 century materials.
