Where would you want to be living if the price of gas shot up to $5, $6, even $8 a gallon as a result of a terrorist attack on energy supplies or a massive hurricane that wiped out gulf coast refineries? Not Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Houston, Texas, or other unsustainably designed cities, according to a report by the environmental website, SustainLane.com. The study evaluated the top ten cities in the country to live in the event of an oil shock, judging them according to their public transportation systems, access to wireless networks for telecommuting, low level of sprawl, and the availability of locally grown organic produce.
