He's an idiot. What we need to do for the time being is start producing vehicles that run off of natural gas. Almost every state in the union is sitting on some form of natural gas that is producible. Lessen the dependency of oil and give these 'cleaner, greener' forms of transportation a chance to come to fruition. Clean/green can't compete financially with big oil at a common folk level. As a nation, we can not quit oil cold turkey. We need to be weaned off of it.

Food for thought:

This truck probably gets 16-19 mpg on diesel. Converted to natural gas would most likely get more power with a few modifications.

The gubmint needs to meet halfway before trying to shut the tap.

A lot of city and county vehicles and all of the buses use CNG here in California.. I wish my truck had that setup over gasoline.

Several cities have converted the city transit to CNG. It's a start.

Somebody is trying. 71 mpg for a wagon. http://www.vwvortex.com/news/volkswagen-news/volkswagen-golf-7-wagonestate-introduced/
