Reply #70: Short term solution: Discounts for smaller, efficient vehicles [View All]

[zulchzulu]

If you drive a car that gets 35mpg or better, you get a 20% monthly discount tax credit. If you take mass transportation, you get a 10% tax credit. If you carpool, you get some kind of tax credit based on passengers per day.

Other than that, the obvious solution would be more electric cars. If you ever saw "Who Killed The Electric Car", you know the technology is here now.

Longer term solutions include the obvious coal to gas (sans CO2), better CAFE standards, better mass transportation, electric and hybrid technology....
