Metro is jam-packed.

But I agree with David. The automobile is not America. America is not the automobile. America is much, much more than the car. And most importantly, in the face of an impending 70s-esque energy situation, you'd better hope America can get over this car dependency.

Because the only reason gas prices have dropped recently is because demand has dropped due to the recession. And when the economy starts to recover, so will gas prices. And that might just keep the economy from recovering.

The fact of the matter is that our gas habit is unsustainable. If we don't start working on alternatives, we'll find ourself up a creek without a paddle. Or perhaps, a better analogy would be: stuck on the freeway with no gas.
