It appears as though gas prices are going to stay in the stratosphere for the foreseeable future (or indefinitely). While everyone is focusing on all of the negatives of this current energy situation, there is as always a silver lining. Among the benefits is the fact the politicians and the citizenry are finally getting serious about public transportation (aka the 'light rail') in the Seattle metro area. This is something that Seattle has needed for a long time, and it has consistently been tripped up by the crazy Washington state politics (as recently as November '07) - all it took was a trumped-up war, the fall of the Dollar, the rise of China, and people being ridiculously selfish.
