And it's technology agnostic... True - but it does assume advances can occur on a schedule or at will like turning on a faucet. The supply side is easier to calculate and implement and will be required and it too is technology agnostic but linked to same technologies as chosen by cars in this case.

"it could be electric, fuel cell or just some very efficient internal combustion." Don't kid yourself. We need to drag the rednecks out of unnecessary pickups and the soccer moms out of unnecessary SUV's. ASAP. Gas prices will help, but tax penalties would help even more. I've got a tiny three cylinder car that gets 50 mpg and was built in 1987, yet, it will easily haul four people down the freeway. They still build cars like it. Get these gas hogs off the road! Every time I go to Costo, they've got fancy new cars out in front with info stickers, and they all get CRAPPY gas mileage. We should tax these so they cost a fortune!
