Not going to change my driving habits... That would be un-American.

I recall in 2008 when gas crept past $4 a gallon... I was stationed in Guam and we saw prices above $5 a gallon... It was insane. Then the solar market started making major strides... Hybrids that were previously laughed at became standard fare. Auto makers cried for a bailout. Chevy said the Volt was the future.

While I am ambivalent, there is a special nostalgia to seeing the prices go back up. I do hope it brings back solar and alternative fuel/energy research and development. I don't plan on getting rid of my 2SS because of it, but I'll be fine if everyone else is driving a Prius.
