Technologies to improve vehicle efficiency are available for deployment now, and new technologies continue to emerge. Developing technologies for the conversion of biomass and coal-to-liquid fuels.

Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal.

But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid.
