Pretty much since I was old enough to hold a wrench, I was working on some sort of project with my dad. He was a tinkerer, inventor, and all-around handyman. His favorite projects were fixing up cars and old campers - Airstreams, motorhomes of all classes, and RVs of all sizes.

Other essential elements include the ideas that: improving technology holds more promise than large-scale behavior modification technology initiatives must be matched with regulatory and policy initiatives government intervention should be flexible and incentive-based, but should also embrace selective technology-forcing measures more diversity and experimentation is needed with regard to vehicles and energy technologies Sperling evaluates past and current attempts to influence drivers and vehicle use, and articulates a clear and compelling vision of the future.
