Logic: individuals can change their lives to use less car gas and energy--get rid of your stupid SUV for your 30 mile commute, move closer to work, get a bike, get an electric car (if Detroit ever wises up and starts making them again) run your A/C less than sub-zero in the summertime....but airlines and OTR trucking/freight, and agricultural industries actually HAVE to have diesel and jet fuel to survive. You can't run a tractor or a jet on electricity....but cars and homes can be run with electricity with existing tech.
