If the United States decided for oil security and climate stabilisation reasons to replace its entire fleet of passenger vehicles with super-efficient gas-electric hybrids over the next 10 years, gasoline use could easily be cut in half. We have not only an inexhaustible alternative to dwindling reserves of oil, but an incredibly cheap one."
