Jest
I agree with all your thoughts. Europe will have some of the same problem when going to the countryside as we got rid of the local train in the 60's and 70's (with a few exceptions).
I have heard many Americans recently saying that they were driving less (your gas consumption proves it) so keep up. Personnaly, my point is not to get rid of cars but to have the car business working a little bit more in everyones interest (their own included). I'm not really interested in electric cars and don't think they are a solution (unless you want a world full of used batteries we cannot get rid of). At least we won't have to fear from global warming, we will simply have to deal with acid rains...
However, using some waste sounds as an idea to develop and using less oil to power a car sound definitely as a good one (already well under way). No reason to change your way of life then.
