"Death of The Automobile" John Jerome

When we talk about oil, we are really talking about the highest quality, most easily produced and distributed fuel source for the internal combustion engine. And when we talk about the internal combustion engine, we are really talking about the automobile. That's what makes the work that is reported on at the Green Car Congress so important. Failing a total revolution in car design and a simultaneous revolution in an alternative fuel that can replace fossil fuels, society will face a major crisis in transportation.

On car ride up to camping in New Hampshire (yes, even peakguy gets into a car every so often!), I stopped by a small book cooperative along I-91 and my friend showed me a book he found in the maze of categories that related to my favorite topic. The book was titled: The Death of the Automobile and was written in 1972by John Jerome (1932-2002), a former ad guy for the car industry and editor of Car and Driver magazine.
