    Also we’ll need you to return to office, get out there and support the failing restaurants, get your kids to school, take weekend trips to stimulate the economy, and NO MONEY FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT.

    If you could go ahead and do all that while driving less, yeaahh that’d be greeaatt. Incredible no one else thought of this. He’s not disconnected from reality at all.

      All this time we were thinking it was a complicated mess created by reliance on the car and truck infrastructure and suburban sprawl growth over decades, and this guy comes along and just spits the simple truth. Where was he before, he could have saved so much energy. Genius.

      The secretary of energy owns an oil company and apparently that’s not a blatant conflict of interests?

      Somehow I’m not surprised at all.
