Last I checked we had electric cars and cars that run on CNG (compressed natural gas), too. Both of those are about as widely used as, say, Apple computers.

Lol- be serious, Scaeagles. Those electric cars are about as dependable as Windows- they stall and simply shut down constantly, and are not a practical mode of transportation, let alone the cost factor.

That said, people do have alternatives to gasoline consumption. Also, I've had this windows box on now for almost two months without crash or failure. Lani's Powerbook crashed last night.

And I drive a hybrid (one of the ones geared towards fuel efficiency not power). And I don't have a problem with gas prices going up to $10/gallon if the people who have the gas want to charge that much for it and the people who want the gas keep buying it.

And the sky is purple in my world.
