The auto industry should play a central role in the energy discussion, Akerson noted, because light-duty vehicles account for about 60% of total transportation energy usage in the United States. GM, said Akerson, is doing a much better job optimizing mass efficiency. The new Cadillac ATS is lighter than a comparable BMW 3-Series.

If PHEVs became the major form of transportation, the use of fossil fuels would be cut dramatically. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace.

Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. The result is known as blue crude, which—similar to crude oil—can be refined to create the end product Audi e-diesel.
