Automobile Dependence
and Denial: The Elephant in the
Bedroom: Impacts on the Economy
and Environment
The elephant in question
is the American automobile and its
true cost to the citizenry, economy,
and environment. The authors, both
engineers, provide a more reasoned,
well-written, and holistic introduction
to the subject than one would expect
from a manifesto. Their thesis is
that the automobile is much more
expensive than we realize when taxes,
parking, and environmental concerns
are considered. The answer to the
problem, expounded at length, is
full-cost pricing of all automobiles,
highways, and automobile by-products.
Like most manifestos, this one has
lots of passion, no footnotes, and
few numbers, and it treats competing
ideas with disdain. Most readers
will need proof before agreeing
that raising the cost of gasoline
to $9 per gallon will result in
``better familial discipline.''
Nevertheless, this is a compelling,
informative book about a very real
problem.-- Kenneth M. Locke, Radford,

atmospheric pollution and its regulation
in Europe, then discusses its impact

GM's risky and successful decision
to become the world's mass producer
of the electric car.
