He makes a very good point, that getting people to buy cars that get better gas mileage is the easy part of this.
The hard part is getting people to drive less too, since we have engaged in policies that have subsidized choices that require driving over the past 50 + years.
In many places, with far spread suburbs, public transport is far less efficient than it is in denser areas, and there are a lot of people living in suburbs, particularly in far suburbs, who are going to experience a very bad time as a wrenching change to lifestyle is made.
As for me, I'm about 5¼ Miles from the terminus of the Baltimore Subway, so I'll do OK, I can bicycle to it.
