The solution has always been electric trains. Make transport public, add more public transportation. That's the pill nobody wants to swallow.
It's not a technology problem, it's a political one. American auto lobbies destroyed public transport, it's not a secret.
Here is france a lot of busses use a LNG/fuel mix. Regional trains have room where you can put a bike.
Take a quarter of what is being spent on domestics cars, and allocate it on public transport, instead of subsidizing oil. Unfortunately, making something for the community so it can be collective, is immediately seen as a socialist or communist measure in the US, so it will probably take a revolution.
Americans will continue to be one the largest emitter per capita, and will lose the fight on the environment, while countries like china are already building a lot of nuclear power plants.
