Readers Acclaim Save Gas, Save the Planet“This is the best book that I have seen describing practical solutions for driving less and buying the right vehicle. As someone responsible for the air quality for 7.5 million people, I recommend this book.”Jack BroadbentChief Executive Officer Bay Area Air Quality Management District

“Electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and next generation fuels are all part of the clean tech revolution. John Addison delivers the fascinating details of today and tomorrow.”Clint WilderCo-Author of The Clean Tech Revolution and Contributing Editor at Clean Edge

"Read this book if you care about the future of our children. John Addison details the transportation solutions that will bring clear skies and reduce dangerous greenhouse gas emissions. It is fascinating to read about everything from smiles per gallon to electric vehicles, from people oriented development to high speed rail, and from driving less to enjoying life more."Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, California State Assembly Majority Whip
