$9 a gallon in Netherlands

Since we here (in the US) are upset about $4 a gallon for gas a lot of places and we are expecting $5 to $6 dollars a gallon by financial pundits by August it might help us to research what countries like the Netherlands which is used to $9 a gallon or more for gas do. First, they travel less by motorized vehicles or ride bikes or walk but also they rely on wind power a lot more because the ocean isn't very deep far out to sea there. Almost all European countries that have access to a windy ocean are building gigantic wind turbines just out of sight of land to power their needs. They have a head start on the United States because these are smaller countries. However, for all of us, necessity is the mother of invention.
