It is probably much easier in a smaller, more homogeneous nation to make a shift like this. It is a fine move and will be fascinating to see the transition. Meanwhile here in the U.S., little or nothing will take place.
I talked to people the other day who are perfectly happy running E85 (forget what kind of car they have).
I really think we have to do a few things more or less all at once in the U.S.
Get big engined gas-guzzlers off the road by taxing them heavily and raising gas prices. Maybe just for SUVs!!
Really incentivize buyers of more fuel efficient cars, and not just for a year or so.
Pour a lot of research dollars into alternative engine/fuel technologies. This couuntry put people on the moon in under 10 years and developed a nuclear weapon in 4 years. This can't be much harder.
Improve more public transportation systems so we can operate a bit more like Europe. The U.S. is waay behind other industrialized nations on this.
Educated people to see the bigger picture. There are few needs that can't be met by a 3 liter 6 cylinder or a turbo 4 cyl. And the cars are already available.
