I'll admit that I'm a little insecure about it, but I'm taking measures to prepare myself. If you do the research, you'll see that this trend will continue for a while - until we hit a breaking point such as China starting to use less oil. By the time that happens, we'll have cut back 50% or so and be living a different life style.
BTW, for my new job, I will be living walking distance from work - about 1/4 mile. These are the types of changes that people will have to make in the future. For me, the future is now. The best thing to do is hit reality head on instead of simply hoping that somebody is going to come along and drill more oil for you.
