Sounds like maybe causes and effects could be a little mixed up. Market prices are an outcome, rather than something we should try to fix, it seems to me, fixing prices will always have unexpected repercussions which could end up being worse than the problem we were trying to fix, it seems to me.
If market prices of undesirable things like oil, look too high to us, or not high enough, we should look to fix whatever it is artificially pushing the price up or down. For example if oil is going up because of scarcity of supply of it, then we should work on making other sources of energy readily available, like solar, so as to provide massive competition to it, thus bringing the price down.
I think we were doing this when free money was issued in quantity, though as yet it hasn't been formally accepted by mainstream science or media.
The circumstances around when we saw oil going negative, is what we should focus on, I think.
Recall also money is energy.
Supplying it for free immediately gives us an alternative to oil, and it can be sustained by just scaling up the solar product to balance with the issue of free money.
That balance would be a kind of equilibrium which can only be established by markets, it seems to me.
