What Can Washington Do To Reduce Oil Use
16.06.10
"Each of us has a part to revelry in a new future that will benefit all of us. If we recover from this recession, the transition to clean energy has the potential to luxuriate our economy and create millions of jobs."
Those were the words from President Obama last night, as he addressed the state about the Gulf oil crisis.
So what is the fastest road to recovery and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels? It begins on the highway, because a adulthood of the oil in the United States is used for transport.
Wind and solar, while a big part of the cap and trade argument and an alternative to coal fired excitement, aren't transportation fuels. However, natural gas is.
The U.S. is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. If every new car sold in the U.S. was unadorned gas powered, we could still all drive for decades on domestic supply alone.
Supporters say it burns cleaner than gasoline and is 40 percent cheaper. Fulfilment wise, it is similar in acceleration, but it doesn’t take you as far on a single tank.
