The United States has had cheap gas prices for a long time. However, despite one thread on this forum, Americans are not dumb. People will adapt quickly ( at least the younger ones ) and lifestyles will change for the better (environmentally speaking ):smaller cars, and more care in using energy generally, as is the case in the rest of the world.
I think it's harder for America, being the world's superpower, to feel that they depend on the rest of the world, but I hope the government resists the urge to drill and spoil the environment instead of developing alternative forms of energy and better relations with other countries.
