Home working - many workers could stay home to work at least one day in the week. <BR/><BR/>Shorter working weeks, but longer hours per day? Maybe this works.<BR/><BR/>Walking to work. Bicycles. Electric ones even - they don't use a lot of electricity and if that gets people out of cars, all the better.<BR/><BR/>You already mentioned PHEVs, the big commuter car solution. More lightrail, more hybrid busses and other efficient mass transit (especially in urban areas) helps too. I just got back from Hong Kong last week. Majority of transportation is all electrified double trams (they look really cheasy), subways and trains. And busses. Taxi's on LPG. Could be electric taxis in the future.<BR/><BR/>And what happened to carpooling? Can't we make just the slightest sacrifices?Cyril Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667288494374310919noreply@blogger.com
