Many American cities are close together. If you count the suburbs where commuters live, New York and Philadelphia almost touch. Ditto New York and Boston. But that's beside the point. Part of the American psyche depends heavily on mobility and freedom of movement. Before we solve the problem of how to live closer to the things we need and want, we will undoubtedly solve the problem of how to travel at a reasonable cost. The same can probably be said for Canadians. What's more, today's crude prices are partly the result of investor speculation. As the global situation changes, they could fall through the bottom once again. A six month spike in prices does not necessarily a crisis make.

Lets attempt to come up with realistic ideas.

Over here the expansion of cities is making that a reality.
