The US auto industry should be re-tooled for low-carbon-emission automobiles, either plug-in hybrids or pure battery-operated vehicles. Either technology will depend on a national electricity grid that uses low-emission forms of power generation, such as wind, solar, nuclear, or coal-fired plants that capture and store the carbon-dioxide emissions.
美国的汽车工业应该重组以生产低碳排放量的汽车，这种汽车可以是嵌入式混合动力或纯电池驱动的汽车。这两种技术都将依赖使用低排放的发电能源——例如风能、太阳能、核能或者能收集和储存二氧化碳排放的燃煤发电站的国家电网。所有这些技术都需要公共资金和私人投资。
