It's a catch 22. If fuel rices do not increase there is no incentive to develop alternatives. If they increase to much/quickly it can have devastating effects.

I would like to see fuel prices increase at a steady level with exemptions/rebates for transportation such as trucks/trains .. etc. I think if that happens people will learn to drive less as they did when we have the price spike a few years back), drive more efficient vehicles and perhaps states/cities will start to develop mass transit and the Fed will start pumping money into interstate transportation such as trains. If we do not start doing this soon (if not already) it will be to late.
