Transportation is another problem mentioned briefly by Smith that would definitely be a problem for United States citizens. Unlike many European cities, our metropolitan areas are only partially equipped to handle their population in terms of public transportation. Many Americans continue to drive even in areas where public transportation is available, so that transportation is not modern enough and systems are not comprehensive enough. Smith comments, "When I and thousands of other workers left the office for home on foot, we hastened by others who appeared barely able to walk along" (77). While Smith is speaking of the elderly, children could also lose out if transportation was unavailable. Children could not reach school and parents could not attend work. Further, the lack of transportation would significantly hinder the transfer of goods -- including groceries and necessary supplies -- from farms and factories to the millions of Americans who live in cities. It would not take long for cities to run low on food an reach a crisis situation.

Karen Smith is eager to improve public transportation, reduce energy use, and conserve where we can. I agree that these measures will keep Americans from unnecessary suffering in case of an oil crisis. However, I additionally feel that further fuel exploration is necessary. By identifying further fuel while adopting new technology and energy saving techniques, we can improve and advance the quality of life in the United States without a gap in services like the one Smith describes. Since most people do not reduce their energy use voluntarily in the United States, the government may need to make hard decisions, just like the English government did when they kept people without heat on and off in Smith's story. While something so drastic is not desirable (as it puts lives at risk), reducing energy with the use of incentives while exploring additional energy sources is the best way for the United States to address the coming oil shortage.
