It's good to invest into more efficient cars, but at the end of the day, 
there is no way around the fact that the root of the problem is not a 
technological one, but that we drive around too much. We have to change 
the way we operate, away from the current predominant model of working 
in large city centres but living far outside in loosely populated areas 
where public transport is difficult to do efficiently. As long as we 
think it's "normal" to spend three hours commuting every day, we have a 
problem...
