I also agree that radical analysis must include practical suggestions, too. I'll have those in the book I'm working on. What we need most is a genuine democratic debate over our transportation system. That something that's never existed before, of course.

"Small cars, small profits" is still their central concern. I agree that hybrids are an important technology and useful as a part of a tapestry of change.
