Indeed, the price of fossil fuels are being boosted by artificial scarcification, including events like pipelines being cut, and petrodollar sanctions imposed on suppliers.
In addition, solar product which is a real practical alternative form of energy, most useful to consumers, is not being effectively transported from points of production to consumers, by money, since there is no money issued for this purpose, money is only issued on extracted energy product, by being issued as debt, which can only manifest as promises to do the work of extraction, hence fossil fueled production is monetised whereas solar production is not, because no per-Joule work is associated with receiving solar energy.
Notice an amount of Joules has to be taken from Earth, for every joule extracted from fossil fuels, (oil took a lot of Joules to make in the first place) whereas the each Joule from solar comes at no cost of Joules from Earth.
We saw what happens when stimulus which arguably represented solar product was issued, oil prices go negative, because effectively, the money issued transported the energy already received as solar, to all recipients of stimulus.
