Traffic Makes U.S. Less Energy Secure | Rob Perks's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC

Traffic Makes U.S. Less Energy Secure | Rob Perks's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC: "According to SAFE, in 2010 drivers in U.S. urban areas were estimated to have wasted 1.9 billion gallons of fuel -- equivalent to approximately 4 entire days of highway petroleum consumption -- idling in traffic for 4.8 billion hours. (Over the past decade, that wasted time and fuel cost us almost $1 trillion!) By 2030, SAFE estimates that more than 3 billion gallons of fuel will be wasted in the U.S. each year by commuters."
