The best way to kick the oil guzzling addiction is for the price of alternatives to be cheaper in a sustainable, long term kind of way. I am not advocating higher taxation or other strange measures, however, I think that the use of oil does not reflect all the social and environmental problems that are associated with its use. If the price of such ills were included in the price (e.g. the price of carbon, the price of keeping troops in the middle east etc.) - the price of oil would be higher and its replacement by alternatives would happen much faster. All the better for the planet and for the people of the world in general... I actually think that the price of oil (& gasoline) is not high enough.
