It’s probably ignored because the simple solution — haul more stuff by rail rather than by truck — is politically untenable.

This has much to do with physics. Hauling heavy loads and fighting wind requires a certain amount of energy, and as long as trucks have to start, stop, climb hills, and push massive amounts of air aside to move, they will consume energy. The adage about emptying your trunk to save gas doesn’t help the driver hauling bricks very much. Better timed lights, traveling when traffic is less heavy, and moving consumption closer to generation points will help. Trains, barges, and ships, as mentioned by Bill T. are also good ideas. However, those modes have their issues, especially getting the cargo the first and last miles.

In the good ol USA, each time the engine Manufactures got to 7 plus mpg the government came along with New polution standards, Cat no longer builds truck engines. 2010 will bring another set-back for engine builders.
