I hope this does not happen while I am still alive.

I hope they can make cars that do run on ethanol produced from corn SOON.

My company fortunately lets employees work remotely sometimes... I often wonder how much more they will be letting us do this if it gets that bad.

I've turned down a couple of invitations for things I otherwise would have loved to attend (a friends engagement party for example) because it is going to be 3 driving hours away Unless I can work out a carpool deal, I don't think I could make it.

I really worry what this is going to do with the airline industry (I've heard all KINDS of bad scenarios on the news) because my family relies on air travel to see each other I would be devastated if my sister or me or whoever couldn't get together because of insanely high airline tickets.

That would be just as bad. Part of the reason for the skyrocket in food prices is because a lot of the corn that farmers produce is being used towards gas. Plus, I remember reading somewhere that it's just as "unclean" in terms of the environment as fossil fuels.
