This review is from: Save Gas, Save The Planet: Ride Clean. Ride Together. Ride Less. (Paperback)

I've known John Addison for several years after working with him and I had the opportunity to read a draft copy of the book. He prides himself on researching his subject matter. Save Gas, Save the Planet is full of stories about how people now move about and how they will choose their transportation of the future. I gained many insights about real people solving real problems, even though I have years of experience with transportation systems and with hybrid vehicle design.

Save Gas, Save the Planet by John Addison couldn't be more timely. He offers a whole host of great ideas to start saving gas today. I loved the summaries at the end of each chapter of ways to save gas and help make a difference for our planet. With political action being debated in our state governments, federal government and internationally, this book offers real insights in the best to to transition to a clean energy economy, and how each person can make a difference. A must read!
