The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

Electric vehicles is part of the solution. The rest of the solution is better mass transit, including effective regional trains. Initially these will have to be subsidized (gasoline taxes is a fitting source). As systems grow out and become convenient, ridership will increase and the need for subsidies will decrease and hopefully end.
I lived in Europe, which has close to continent-wide great mass transit, so I've seen it in action. Never wanted a car. Those few times I needed a car it was cheaper to take a taxi than buy and maintain a car.
I live in Omaha, which has crappy mass transit. I'd love to be able to take a bus to work, but can't.
I worked in England, mass T was much more accessible. Here in NJ the most densely populated state it's a haul to work, mass transit sucks if it even exists. Taxing people at the pump would work only if the $ went into a 'lockbox' and we all know how that turns out. Somewhere out there is a much better answer.
I live directly under flight paths into Newark airport. There are plenty of helicopters and private planes that fly overhead every day into the private airports further out and out to Philly. Tax them, they can afford it.
