Recent calculations in Europe have shown that energy consumption per rail passenger/mile is close to automobile levels. The challenge is to build smaller, lighter, more fuel efficient cars.

American has only a dependence on oil and the automobile. The petroleum companies have not built a new refinery in over 15 years. That is not acceptable. It is causing high gas prices for Americans. Americans must get off of our dependence on oil. American needs more and better mass transportation. I cannot go to other cities within 40 miles of where I live on Mass transit. There should be better Mass transit. Bigthink Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:14:05 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/policy-politics/energy-policy/1987/#335
