Perspective: Drive Star Conversion Program Could Cut US Oil Use in Half by 2020

Green Car Congress

When our country was attacked at Pearl Harbor, no one believed we could build 30,000 planes and tanks in just one year. And no one asked what it would cost. But it will take decades to shift most freight from trucks to trains, design walkable communities, shorten our commutes, and build better mass transit and high-speed rail networks.
