In his State of the Union speech last night, President Bush called for a technological fix to our addiction to foreign oil. He is calling on new stricter fuel economy standards for cars and trucks beginning in 2010 and 2012 respectively, and heightened production of alternative fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. One thing conspicuously absent was calling on Americans to try to use less fuel by taking fewer trips by car and more by public transit, biking, and walking. Just replacing one percent of passenger vehicle trips with bicycle or walking trips would save us over 29.2 Million barrels of oil per year*. That translates to 1,226,400,000 gallons of oil per year.
