Chicken little got in trouble for over reacting to what eventually turned out to be a real problem. I guess we have a chicken little complex when it comes to energy. Now that regular unleaded can be purchased for under $3/gallon, we seem to care less about conserving energy and finding alternative energy sources.
At least one voice is still screaming from the roof tops though. Oil tycoon, T. Boone Pickens is still promoting his answer to the energy crisis.

I love my a/c, heater, electric lights, and especially, my car. I always have and I always will. Raise the prices a BTU, a therm, or a gallon and my habits will be focused on wise use of my resources. I support increaed domestic drilliing and refining capacity, but only as a moderate-term bridge to other alternatives, including nuclear and natural gas. It's always been about conservationism and stewardship for me, well, at least until I was told that I was told the sky was falling -- and it was all my fault.
