Well, nearly. It's pointless to try to extract it *for power generation*, but may still be worth extracting using energy from cheaper sources for other purposes (plastics feedstock, chemical engineering etc).

But even using cheaper energy, it's not worth it if the cost of extraction is ¢100/barrel, and the value of oil is ¢50/barrel. It doesn't matter what the value of a ¢ is, or indeed whether governments print more money - if the raw value of the oil is lower than the cost of extracting it, then it will get left alone.
