American's will literally do anything but build public transportation.
Taking cars off the road by reducing vehicle reliance seems like such a cost-effective solution that we just don’t want to consider.
Either way, you want the people who will not convert to public transportation to use more efficient cars, so it's not a bad thing.
The country is just too big for that to happen everywhere. It would be immensely helpful in some cities and it's disappointing that it's being neglected.
Is that it?
It's one of a large number of actions. Individually, most of these aren't much. Added together, they're a lot.
My 2006 ford fiesta got more than 50mpg. Even accounting for the smaller US gallon, the idea that car manufacturers need any more time, and cannot build them today, was my point.
