We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. Even on land, getting oil from tar sands depletes water and other resources and doubles oil’s carbon footprint. Using existing technology, we can convert many of them into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.
