7. It's an opportunity
Seriously, we could all do with less driving. More expensive oil means it's harder to subsidize against mass transit. More incentive for trains, light rail, and perhaps just maybe, the laws can be updated to legally build walking neighborhoods.

There's some serious money been made on cheap oil, and some fat cats are going to feel the pinch before they can diversify their holdings-again... But if those of us in the middle and on the bottom get hit, we're also in the best position to make some long overdue changes in the ways we live.

I've despised car culture for as long as I can remember, the end cannot come soon enough for me.
