One can map the oil of this land with a knowledge of the planet's biomass and geological history. There is more than enough oil to go around. Is it a renewable resource? Absolutely not. These price hikes are all political in nature. They (whoever they are) and the media spin this is ten thousand different directions. How will I respond? How will we respond? Let's begin by removing combustion engines from our innovative toolkit.
I will be more convinced than ever that the entire situation is a set-up and a scam. It would be hard or live to drive any more environmentally friendly than I always have - my carbon footprint is about 8,000 lbs. of CO2 / year - & I head 2 tiny corporations, which I also insist "run green as grass".. one of which makes passive solar heating and cooling units. I've been renovating my lawn to native grasses so don't have to mow.. Past die, there isn't much left for me to get rid of.
You can't panic. Drive less and believe that it will come down again soon. The opportunity for this country is moving forward on alt. fuel and 100 mpg engines.
We all know that no matter how much oil sky rockets, we still will pull up 2 the pump and fill up. Thats why companys will keep the prices rising. Its up to the people to stand up and say no more, but really we love cars and how easy it is to get from point a to point b. So until we say no to gas and driving we will suffer.
Will need to come up with ways of increasing revenue using thesame energy cost.
At that point it will become very wise to utilise IT to handle those aspects of business that do not necesssarily need Physical contact or mobility.
First, it won't hit $200 a barrel in the next six months. If for some reason it did it will be a spike as a result of a significant disaster, natural or man made and the disaster will likely be much more critical to deal with than the oil price.
With delight! Americans-- all humans, really--will adapt. We need some strong incentive (carrot or stick, depending on your outlook) to drive innovation and subsequent dissemination.
I will continue to drive my car and heat my home just as I have always done. This is the cost of owning a car/truct and the cost of having a home that requires fuel.
We have had things pretty good for a while therefore, I am not suprised to see these things happen.
Although I don't drive, this will have a huge affect on plane tickets and how much I can see my family across country. I don't know how else to respond except restricting my visits to once or twice a year.

Start driving on bikes and may even consider walking as much as possible. May even stop travelling so much.
