Not without transforming vehicles, fuels, and transportation generally—not only in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>, but virtually everywhere. Professor Sperling will examine the roots of the problem: the </span></font>resistant auto industry, dysfunctional oil markets, shortsighted government policies, and unmotivated consumers. He will examine alternative fuel failures and successes, shrinking price elasticity of demand for gasoline, the evolving transportation monoculture, the advent of hybrids and other advanced technologies, and recent shifts in vehicle mix – within the context of <st1:state w:st="on">California</st1:state> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region> public policy.
