I don't necessarily agree that Europe's approach is all that wise. If you just stay complacent and not try new technologies, then how would new ideas develop? Besides, fossil fuel has a limited supply as we know, and why not venture on with other technologies to discover a way to be more environmentally friendly and less dependent upon foreign countries? IMHO, I'd say be a leader in discovering a new energy source and not wait for our natural resources to become extinct.
Well, considering the fact that Europe doesn't have problems with smog like we do. Also, we could say that Europeans are "used" to high gas prices. Yes, diesel-powered cars are doing well in Europe, but they have better performance that your current hybrids.
We can only make changes in steps, not leaps. So get the current crops of vehicles to have better gas mileage while introducing hybrids that can rival average sedans in performance and value. We have several sources of renewable energy so we just have to research ways to make them more efficiently.
