This presentation was well worth the read. It certainly confirms many of our suspicions, but it does leave us lacking for "what to do next". How many of our long-range transportation plans will need to be thrown away? How will we get goods to market? Employees to employers? Society is amazingly fragile, and this is some scary stuff, but worth considering now before it's too late. The worst that can happen is that our planning is never needed.
