While there is some truth to what you say, it is very different compared to the 70's. The world can't up supply nearly as easy. In the 70's, Saudi Arabia just cranked open their wellheads when needed, but they've since found that that damaged their superfields. They manage them much more carefully nowadays.
So yes, certain high risk sources are becoming more economically viable, but we can't up supply even remotely close to as easily...
