Six more months of gasoline pain in the US?

Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said consumers can expect to see at least six months of high gasoline and heating fuel prices until energy production recovers from hurricane damage.

Experts warn that there will be a sticker shock for heating bills this winter, with prices rising by about a third for those using heating oil and by two-thirds for the majority of Americans who use natural gas to heat their homes.

Do you think Americans are going to get it this time? Or will they still believe they can carry on wasting energy in a world where energy resources are finite?
