"Do you think the Canadians will be happy they sold their treasure of gas for a few dollars 20 years from now?? When they have no gas for heat??"

I think about that here in Arizona, where folks in Phoenix and Tucson and Yuma use Canadian gas to dry their clothes, even in the summer, when the air outside is about the same as the air inside the dryer.

Someday the Canadian gas will run short, and they will be cold; while Arizonans will actually have to step outside to hang up their clothes to dry.

That is so silly, isn't it? Especially considering in the summer in southern regions, clothes on the line probably dry just about as fast as those in the dryer. People are so wrapped up in modern technology that they don't think to do things any other way. That is one of my biggest concerns regarding Peak Oil and Peak Gas.

The question to me isn't whether we can go about doing things in different ways, it's a question of whether people will realize it. For example, when gas is $5 a gallon will people slow down and drive 55 MPH for better fuel economy, or will they still speed down the road at 85 MPH paying the equivalent of three times as much on fuel?

On a sidenote, I can't decide whether it's good to be closer to the equator and thus less in need of gas for heating, or whether global warming is going to make it 120 degrees in the summer, meaning you'd be better off far to the north.
