Itis unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current low level or thatother nations will accept a large and growing . contribution to global10climate change. Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use,increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventionalgasolinepowered vehicles, switch to less harmful fuels, or find lesspolluting driving systems. The last of these — in particular the15introduction of vehicles powered by electricity — is ultimately the onlysustainable option.
