Have faith in the market, everybody. Even at today's prices, the inflation-adjusted cost of energy is lower than in most of the prior century. Things are always improving in the long run.

you'd like the book, "The Doomsday Myth, 10,000 Years of Economic Crises." Highly recommend it.

Until then, it's a big problem.

the inflation-adjusted cost of energy In 1965 I made $10,000 and gasoline was $0.199 a gallon, and cigarettes were $0.10 a pack. Now gasoline is $2.59, cigs are $5 a pack and fortunately I made $130,000 in inflation-adjusted dollars. It all works out. I had to cut a few things from the budget, though. Food, movies, cigarettes.
