Fuel Effective Trains, Planes and Automobiles - don’t forget bicycles!

Fuel Effective - must be a typo? Fuel effective means the right fuel for the job. Sometimes the right fuel is no fuel or negawatts as our friends at RMI say. Other times it may be solar, wind, fuel cells, biodiesel or more. One thing is for sure, our energy future is changing and with change comes the opportunity to ensure triple bottom line benefits for all.
