side topic, but closely related.
i still think the real way to make a different in how much fuel people burn/year is in improving and expanding public transportation.
it is absolutely mind blowing how many Americans NEED to drive just themselves to work every single day. almost anyone i know who has an hour+ car commute would absolutely LOVE to get on a train and fall asleep getting to the office.
if people had more options, i bet a whole lot would choose cleaner, efficient mass transit ways to get to work, but a very very small percentage of the american workforce have that option.
i know that's not easy, or practical in many ways, but i still that that's a great area of focus to start getting us out of individual cars.
