1 of 2 things would happen

A. The prices will drop because the oil men would fear a large backlash and intense focus would be put on their sick profits.

Or

B. the general public would really start to feel the pain and demand real change in the energy policy. I want oil dependency to be declared a national security issue and $100 billion in funds to be transferred from military spending over to R&D of alternative fuels. This is the best pre-emptive action the U.S. could take in protecting the power position the U.S. current holds in the world.
