End our dependence on fossil fuels

Since the Arab oil embargo in 1973, the United States has gotten more new energy from efficiency than from all net expansions of domestic energy supplies put together. Efficiency is step one. Displacing fossil fuels with renewable sources is step two.

We found that the tools for curing oil dependence can also revitalize manufacturing. Americans can either replace foreign oil with efficient foreign cars, or leapfrog to superefficient domestic cars, and thus import neither oil nor cars.
