Abstract:

This paper addresses the question: how can we minimize the expected time between now and the time when we achieve three measures of sustainability and security together—independence from oil in cars and trucks, very deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and deep reductions in natural gas for electricity? Specific new technologies and metrics for progress are discussed, in context, linked to new information from IEEE, NSF, the State of the Future project and other sources.
