Transportation consumes more than half of the oil used world-wide, and contributes roughly 25% of energy-related CO 2 emissions. If emissions from feedstock and fuel production are included, the transport sector is responsible for close to 27% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the team notes. —Creutzig et al.

Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oil price spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. Set a target of reducing the carbon intensity of gasoline and diesel by 10 to 15 percent by 2030. Create separate fuel pools for gasoline and diesel.

Electric vehicles will be available for customers in 2011. Annual use of an EV should be less than the average cost of $8,000 per year for using a gasoline in many countries including the USA. Millions of EVs and PHEVs would expand the sale of electricity as an alternative to oil. Then we are done! No more big energy!!

"On some products, the costs, particularly in advanced technologies, are high," he said in a lengthy interview with Automotive News (free subscription required). GM killed that car because of back room deals with oil companies, and now they expect us to believe that they are just so cutting edge now? Thats short-sighted.
