Consider around 2020-2023 when they get fusion engines to work. Production will follow quickly, and miniaturization will then be taken up by the same R&D departments that helped to get the reactor working right.
With nearly unlimited power that the engine can generate, it can power cities, and allow for experimental research with REMOTE power. That is, powering devices from a distance with no cables. Currently, the best they can do is about.. 2 feet for small devices, and 20 feet on an aircraft carriers flight deck, using its nuclear reactor for power.
Electric cars will be more viable as a production vehicle when an unlimited amount of power is available. Its not that great now because of the batteries and the driveable range of the vehicles. Sooner rather than later, the oil supply will be exhausted.. or when they hit the bottom, the oil that DOES come up will be so full of soot and other crap that the refinement processes will have to be retooled, and may cost much more per barrel to generate into gasoline.
Me? I support 100% ethanol. Or ethyl alcohol. But it would be great to drive around in a city in a car that runs on electricity, but that gets it from power-towers or something. Like bumper cars without the contact of with the grid above you.

Consider a more fuel efficient vehicle. I am looking at the New Toyota Camery Hybrid and get rid of the minivan. Double the gas mileage. Also consider 4 ten hour days versus 5 eight hour days. Ask for a raise to cover fuel costs. As mentioned above, carpool or public transportation. Lastly find a closer job or work from home. Don't be afraid of change. Roll with it. It will happen no matter what.

Unfortunately, you aren't wrong about the gas prices affecting our lives. Fact is, the economy is going to hit the skids, and we'll relive the 1970's when inflation was 10% or higher.
This is a serious situation.

Move closer to work or find a job closer to home. Not a bad idea regardless of the price of gas.

I'd ask congress to initiate a telework program across the nation, that should help save millions of Americans in corporate America some grief

Thankfully my current job is only a couple of miles or so from home...thus I would ride my motorcycle, a bicycle, or walk...
If it were too far to bicycle or walk, I'd be in a pickle...have to find a new job or take on a second one (within walking distance) to make enough money to buy gas to get to my primary job...

Ride my bike, walk, car pool or something. If those don't work, pull out the dole!

Be like every other American and b*tch about it. It's waaaaay easier than actually solving our problems.
