[WINNING THE OIL ENDGAME]

Lovins makes the case that the heavy vehicles we design, build and
operate are at the heart of the oil dependency problem. He insists the
technical know-how exists to make all modes of transportation lighter
and more fuel-efficient, and that big, fast change is possible.

"...what if we could make super-efficient vehicles as a byproduct of
breakthrough engineering so people would buy these cars because they're
betterólike going to CDs from vinyl records? ...Think of a computer with
wheels, not a car with chips."
