Since the beginning of the fuel depression there have been many attempts to conserve as much as we possibly can. I think people are driving less and trying to consume less fuel wherever possible.
If we had a better transit system, people would probably use it more. People are carpooling and making less out of town trips. My parents recently went on a trip to Seattle. It was cheaper for them to fly from Redding to San Francisco and on to Seattle then it was for them to drive there and back.
I think we need to tap into some of the United State's resources off the Atlantic Coast and in Alaska. That way we have our own petroleum resources and we don't have to so heavily on outside countries to supply us. On the other hand, I think we need to come up with an alternative fuel source for automobiles. The new hybrid cars are just one example of what can be invented to combat the necessity for fuel.
