I think we will see more pushes for renewables.
We've had people asking about our hybrid and solar panels before all of this.
Solar panels are also becoming very affordable. But as far as transportation? That was going to be a issue regardless. It's going to force America to give a shit about walkable cities and public transportation but it'll be repackaged as God Given Right To Walk/Freedom of Movement or something like that.
In the mean time it'll be suffer and poor people sharing a car and shit like that.
But there will be infrastructure change from this. The question is how long it'll take.
Also this will put the nail in the coffin for the population shift to urban (this is something that has been happening because of the job market and prices but you don't see it in news and shit but you do see the real world example if you say visit your home which is RURAL. Had a graduating class of 34. And more and more people are moving to cities cause they cant affors rural life, god forbid buying farm land)
