At what price point does gasoline have to be for people to change their fossil-fuel guzzling lives???

It’s nice to talk about alternative energy and Tesla cars (but, golly, I really want one of those), but it’s still a car – which means we’re not really ready for life as we know it to change.

Much more than cars are the things we have come to expect as our god-given American right to have lifestyle that are the real sources of our vast consumption of pertroleum:

-Fresh fruit from 8 different countries available at our local Costco.
-99 cents store
-Starbucks Monday special: Morning Roast Arabica Espresso
-Prestine corn on the cob, not half eaten by corn grubs
-Abnormally large avocados
-Abnormally small tomatoes
-Taco bell
-Bottled water
-Nike shoes
-iPods

I don’t see Americans doing without these things even if gas goes up to $10-$12. Maybe at $20?
