horndude, you obviously do not understand what America is all about AND what has made it so successful.
You bring up supply and demand, but then you go off on what 'America' does, as if it is a single consciousness that makes decisions. America RUNS on supply and demand. If that curve gets out of whack, as you suggest it will, things will change based on consumer decisions, not by 'America' doing something.
Gas prices get to high, people by different types of cars, people buy less gas, Company's respond (not the responsibility of the government) and new forms of energy are given more attention and things change.
The way it works, the best thing for the consumer is what is used. Because oil isn't in (real dollar standards) that expensive, not that much has changed. Although, more people are buying Hybrids and such, not from laws, but from choice, already.
People love going off on $3/gallon gas, but have no concept on the time value of money which puts the current price right about on par as what it was in the 50's.
The American way of life will not self destruct as you suggest. It will change as needed and continue to grow and get stronger.
