That may be true, but those numbers surely aren&#x27;t the only issues with oil dependency. Much of our current domestic gas &amp; oil production depends on fracking, and a lot of oil is produced globally in regions where oil money supports autocratic regimes.<p>Where I live, I feel fortunate that work is only a 20 min. bike ride away. Surely a lot of people do want to rely on their cars less--the most in-demand neighborhoods around here for housing are the ones with the best public transit access, but of course that means there&#x27;s not enough investment in improving access in other areas. Part of that though is less about the environment than the fact that traffic is unbearable.
