providing escorts to gas
trucks to make sure supplies can safely get to stations.
The relatively short payback periods of many
fuel efficiency measures, combined with most
trucks being commercially deployed on the road for well over a decade, ensure that
fuel efficiency
provides greenhouse gas reductions and cost savings for the party paying for
fuel.
After two decades of subsidies and mandates, biofuels
provide about 8.5 percent of US automobile and
truck fuel, using 40 percent of the nation's corn crop.
Recognizing that even in a world where energy is constrained / more expensive there will always be a certain volume of goods traded globally, due to they being only able to be produced in certain locations by virtue of geographical and climatic conditions, as well as comparative advantage still standing, greater localization and regionalization of production and trade would reduce
fuel usage —
provided that shipment of those goods was done via train or inland waterway, not
trucks.
