I think the US will continue to lick the boot of the combined auto-oil monopoly as they continue to claim that "we are not ready for a small efficient diesel" while scores of empowered left wing do-good ignoramusses will continue to wring their hands in horror at the thought of all that black smoke, thus further sealing the doom of small diesel and diesel hybrid in America.
Accordingly, Americans...convinced that there is no other choices except gasoline and very large diesel trucks, will continue to toss chair after chair into the fireplace and party like it's 1999, while sniffing haughtily at "those cheese eating Euros and their funny, smelly cars".
Everything's going according to plan.
Now if the state and local governments would just get busy and round up all thos dirtbags who are building their own
small diesels and running them on homemade bio, and fine them into oblivion, we could easily envision a Pol Pot style future where ANY thought of leaving the gasoline gold standard whatsoever means a trip to the killing fields.
Yes. Whatever we do, save the automobile. No, no. You go on. I'll stay and save our beloved automobile to live on and pollute, to strangle the planet.
Our mission to cover the entire planet in concrete and macadam must not be stopped!!!
The last thing we need is to use our last remaining drops of cheap energy to help us get out of the technology dead-end. NO!! Those drops must go into the autos. God help us if we were to have to use our own paltry limbs to heave our fat asses around the block.
Yes, we can just keep making autos and that will save us. More autos = more saving.
Follow me carefully and check my logic: All we have to do is build more automobiles and we will cure pollution, we will cut population, we will beautify the planet. Hell, if we keep building automobiles, the truth is God will create more fossil fuel for us!!! God will create more land!!! The invisible sky-being of your choice will repopulate the oceans with large fish!!! He/She will drape His/Her hair between us and the sun and stop global warming!!!!!
We will be awash in fresh water!!! Hunger will disappear!!! Population growth will spontaneously slow, decrease and reach sustainable levels all without war, famine, or disease!!!!!
Yes!! We should start an immense "Manhattan" style project to make at least two cars per person on the planet. That is obviously the solution!!!!
Yes!!! Once we are all, each and every one of us, sitting in our vehicles waving sheepishly at each other, then we will have reached the pinnacle of our evolution.
All hail the human Dodo.

Cherenkov,
If you want to get someone's attention.. whisper.
You have some good points to share, but you render them inaudible with this mass of exclamation marks and repetition.
Shhh...

Perhaps a jug of locally produced sarconal would create a softer haze. It works for me. Gave up my brandy habit and now that's my substance of choice. :)
