“… I’m suggesting that we get into higher efficiencies in the use of the energies. You say we’re running out of energy. We’re not running out of energy at all, we’re just being stupid. Everything we have to do energetically… We have at all times in the United States over two million cars standing in front of red lights with their engines mmmmmmg going. That’s over 200 million horses jumping up and down going nowhere at 15% efficiency. It is four out of five of all the automobiles in America are not in motion, they’re just blocking streets somewhere.”
