Then the economy will tank yet again, in a state of chronic stagflation, until we have a solution in place for our energy short-falls. Somethings gotta give.
We've seen that the good times are now past.. you either have to be pretty dense or in denial to not know that King Oil is a finite resource. Yet now that price of gas has 'dropped' temporarily, a lot of people consider that the peak pricing we just experienced is just another artificially induced Oil Crisis '73-74, and continue to drive their single occupant monster SUV's without a care...
And yet, our society is built around the car. No easy solutions in sight unless they close a lane or two on the QEW both ways for a radical high density LRT remake using the existing automotive commuter routes..
