The Result Of Fossil Fuel Dependancy

Many people are in a gas line waiting for gas as result of Hurricane Sandy. The hurricane caused the infrastructure around the NYC metro to be shut down. As a result, the city was cut off from resupply which caused restrictions to be put on the current supply of gas limiting amounts which can be purchased. The police is regulating this, hence the long lines. Many cars have become stranded or some are surviving on fumes. If we were less dependent on fossil fuels this might not have happened say if cars were solar powered or ran on "green" biofuels.
