Me too. I think if we can convince auto makers to make all electric cars and for home builders to include solar panels on all homes we could start on the right path at least.

What will convince auto makers and home builders to do both of those things is renewable energy technology becoming more economic than fossil fuels. Thankfully, we are very close to that point.

A better alternative is just to make walkable cities. Cars perpetuate the problem. They're the whole reason our cities are so spread out. They were built assuming everyone would drive. How much smaller would cities have to be if everyone had to pedal everywjere? Considering how fat the Americans are, probably dramatically so.
