The economy will crash well before we can convert over to a new economic model -- a process that actually should have began decades ago.

Most people will be wiped out financially, and simply won't be able to afford to buy a new car right off the assembly line. Mass transit will be the way to go. Eventually, we could have hydro-electric buses, but they may not even prove to be too practical by the time they are available.

Suburbia is coming to an end, along with 2-hour, 100-mile-long single-occupant-per-vehicle commutes to work. Think consolidated, densely-populated cities and a return to family farming. That is our future.
