In Future Drive, Daniel Sperling addresses the adverse energy and environmental consequences of increased travel, and analyzes currinitiatives to suggest strategies for creating a more environmentally benign system of transportation. Groundbreaking proposals are constructed around the idea of electric propulsion as the key to a sustainable transportation and energy system. 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
•governmintervention 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 currattempts to influence drivers and vehicle use, and articulates a clear and compelling vision of the future. He formulates a coherand specific set of principles, strategies, and policies for redirecting the United States and other countries onto a new sustainable pathway.
