Gasoline prices where more the last straw (or really one of the last straws, its not like they where the only negative factor at the time, or that they where very different in real terms that what we had experienced at other high points in gasoline prices), than they where a main cause or the spark that started everything. If it wasn't gasoline prices, it would have been something else a bit later (although a bit later would have been very useful for me personally, I would have been in a much better situation to deal with a downturn in a year or two than I was when it happened)

But if we had moved more to green energy we would be putting even more resources in to transportation, the cost impact would have been even greater.
