Howard Kunstler is a rabble rouser and a doomsayer. Though judging from the north american media and policies cheap oil is apparently inexhaustible. The US will have to go through massive pain to turn away from oil. The entire suburbia / exurbia is unlivable without extensive motoring. No amount of alternative fuels is likely to keep the suburbs and exurbs viable in the near future. Hopefully, there will be revitalization of the inner cities where people can actually walk to shopping, schools, entertainment and work.
I fail to see how this is different from what Kunstler is saying. Udhay -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
