"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

IMO, the solution is to stop using cars
To most people that seems totally impractical, but it's really just a matter of seeing that the majority of our car use is purely down to characteristics of our society that can easily be changed.
From another recent thread, it's apparent that, like me, several posters on HOP do not own or use cars. Given the right circumstances (eg work being within walking distance etc) it's totally feasable to not have a car.
I'm glad fuel prices are going up, it's the best way, IMO, to encourage the necessary restructuring of society and attitudes.
Same goes with all energy use- we're going to have to find ways to use less.
We need realism- as many have pointed out, a switch to hybrid cars, or cars powered by hydrogen, is not that realistic as electricity and hydrogen production require energy, which is often from fossil fuels.
It's good to keep increasing fuel efficiency, but, however efficient a car is, it will always use more fuel than the alternative, of not having a car.

unfortunately not practical where large travel distances are involved . And with rising populations, especially cities, the distances between home and work are becoming more and more..

the only way that would work is if there was a school a supermarket, and place of work within walking distance of every person in the country. Not to mention friends and familly would all have to be neighboures if we wanted to see them

You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.
