From "Sustainable Home"

If you knew gas would cost $10/gallon within five years:

what kind of car would you buy today?

would you wait for plug-in hybrids to arrive on the market in 2010?

would you move closer to work?

will you carpool, ride an electric bike, get a scooter?

would you move closer to public transportation?

would you find telecommute employment?

If you knew the price of natural gas and electricity would triple in five years:

would you cancel the kitchen remodel and spend the money on energy upgrades?

would you downsize to a smaller home?

would you move to multi-unit, shared-wall housing?

would you move to a different climate?

would you buy a solar hot water heater instead of granite counter tops?
