8. One thing good will happen for the whole economy and global warming...
More freight will be shipped by rail and then delivered locally by trucks...

In the long run, that is the best solution...

Less griding down on the highways...

Less overall energy use...

And cheaper freight costs to the end customer...

I hate to see a whole segment of the economy go through such drastic changes, but this time around, it's the indy truckers...

We can only hope that someday it will be republicans and wall street types who are forced to go through similar angst...
