Hooooold on.
I did not suggest that everyone ditch their cars. Rather, I am pointing out that they are overused. Perhaps I should have made that more clear.
I used to live 30 miles from nowhere myself, growing up with my family. I don't care for the big city, I live in a "micropolis" (yes, there is such a classification).
I do realize that cars are necessary for some things, and I am not calling for a ban on them. I just have a problem with seeing people, ATHLETES even, driving across a college campus that I can just about piss across, even on a fine sunny day. Now that's just car addiction.
Please don't say, "You're gonna say," because that is putting words in my mouth that I was NOT gonna say.
"I give up. I admit it. I'm a Browncoat."

New Reactor Puts Hydrogen From Renewable Fuels Within Reach
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (2/12/2004) -- The first reactor capable of producing hydrogen from a renewable fuel source - ethanol - efficiently enough to hold economic potential has been invented by University of Minnesota engineers. When coupled with a hydrogen fuel cell, the unit - small enough to hold in your hand - could generate one kilowatt of power, almost enough to supply an average home, the researchers said. The technology is poised to remove the major stumbling block to the “hydrogen economy”.
