High gas prices, shortages, and outages, suck, but I wish prices were higher to wean the US off it's oil addiction and waste, to encourage it to give up it's blind corruptly murderous habits.
I hope that after squandering a generation of energy alternative pioneers, and 30 years, Americans will wake up from their environmental, energy, and collective social irresponsibility delusions, with Katrina's shock therapy. I won't hold my breath but will continue to hope and rabble raise.
