> While the focus of Hillman’s thinking for the last quarter-century has been on climate change, he is best known for his work on road safety. It seems to me that Hillman's position on climate change follows from his background of opposition to car usage, not the other way around. I think that a primativist approach to solving climate change is bound to fail. The reality is that motor vehicles offer a convenience that drivers (and voters) are unwilling to sacrifice. If we genuinely want to solve climate change, we should focus on changing our technology rather than our way of life. I believe that if we're to make a genuine difference, it will be from shedding our energy's dependence on fossil fuels, not from shedding our dependence on energy.
