I think the idea is to switch to electric cars.
At first, wouldn’t it be better to switch to electric
buses first? >It’s got government subsidy built in (local,
usually), moves lots of people, doesn’t need to accelerate
fast, doesn’t need to look sexy, and has lots of room for
storage of batteries...not to mention, can swap out
newly charged batteries at night, or recharge in situ!
Electric commuter trains with biodiesel backup engines could
be a next step, then if that works, electric powered
cargo trains with biodiesel backup, then the private companies can build their
superefficient nanobattery powered cars...no?
Private(home) use of solar/wind/stirling electric generation
could be next.
Slow, but steady transition....end of foreign oil(will
need a dinosaur oil company death watch), won’t
need to cater to other cultures, can leave them behind.
Here’s another idea, how about mining land fills for
combustibles? or metals....gets rid of land fill problems
for sure.
