Freedom From Oil
He wrote Freedom From Oil: How the Next President Can End the United States' Oil Addiction .[3]
The plot centers around a fictional Presidential Plan to End Oil Dependence, detailed below:
- Offering to buy 30,000 plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) at an $8,000 premium.
- Committing after their delivery that half the vehicles purchased by the federal government will be PHEVs. That's a much stronger version of Pres. George W. Bush's order.
- Legislation to retool US auto factories and assume some auto industry health costs.
- Consumer tax credits of $8,000 for the first million PHEVs and $4,000 for the second million.
- Replacing Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards with Fuel Reduction and Energy Efficiency (FREEdom) standards
- A Federal Battery Guarantee Corporation to help manufacturers provide 10-year battery warranties for the first million cars.
