I'm all for electric transportation, but we should focus most immediately on reducing waste in the current system. It seems that cutting driving speeds could potentially reduce gas use in half, though the speed reductions are drastic. Government assistance for growing food at home are harldy in the public eye. There is much waste which could be cut out of the system right now, and that would buy us time. Educating the public, especially on a global scale, takes leadership. Let's game extra time out of the current system while we bring new technologies to market.

You can't just fight alligators, though, you have to start draining the swamp. The Hirsch report says at least 10 years is required for even an "Apollo Mission" level of effort by government, industry, and citizens. Hence, the beginning of a dramatic push to restructure our transportation system cannot be put off.
