Isn't the massive demand for oil and gasoline in part because of the continued primary usage of cars as a means of transportation? I mean, wouldn't deploying trains on a local scale as well as encouraging citizens to go by bike to work and school, help a lot?

I know I get these crazy ideas because I'm used to it from Europe, but it shouldn't be too hard to apply the same schemes to the US and Canada - the trains have been built and tested for many years, as have the bikes.
