When oil is low, it’s good for the overall economy of the country as fuel and raw material prices are now lower.

When oil is high, it’s great for exploration and production (Houma, Lafayette, Grand isle, other upstream reliant areas such as the Permian basin, etc) but is bad for the rest of the economy (including refineries) as fuel and raw materials are more expensive.

Exactly right. Energy is everything, and everything is energy. Cheap energy lubricates the economy, expensive energy clogs it up.

That's why it's so important to move away from energy sources that have variable but unavoidable fuel unit costs and toward those that have unit costs approaching free. Hate for China to beat us in this energy revolution.
