Lower oil dependancy through radical new technologies? Sounds pretty good to me. Maybe I'll submit a grant proposal for research into these crazy ideas I like to call public transit and bicycles.
We obviously can't get rid of all vehicles. But busses and bikes are always going to be more sustainable, better for public health, more ecologically sound, safer economically, and generally more aesthetic all around than the car culture we currently have. Getting off oil is good, but we're still going to be facing a major energy crisis sooner or later. Everyone owning a house in the suburbs and driving 20 miles to work simply does not scale to several billion people.
