Well, cars are—and light trucks are—something
like 20 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions in this country.
There's no question that they represent a very great challenge for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I would say that cars are the single biggest
technological challenge on the global warming side.
On the other hand, we're seeing with hybrid
technology and plug-in hybrid technology and cellulosic ethanol that there are
solutions right around the corner. So if the government gets serious about
pushing alternative fuels, I think this is a problem that can be addressed.
