Look at the picture and imagine for a moment that the vehicle is not a flat bed truck from the forties, but a Cadillac Escalade or Dodge Ram 2500 Cab Plus of 2008 vintage. As the price of fuel skyrockets, will this be our future? I get the sense that life for all of us will be changing very rapidly in the next few years. Market forces will help alleviate some of the problems, but overall, things will have to change and change quickly. China, always referred to as a sleeping giant, has been roused and the impact on the world is being felt in a much greater way than any of us expected. A producing nation soon becomes a consuming nation and with its billions of people, it is proving to have an insatiable appetite. America, the mother of all consumers, will be taking a back seat very soon. And it will not be in a Hummer.
