    “We’ve embarked on the beginning of the Last Days of the Age of Oil. Nations of the world that are striving to modernize will make choices different from the ones we have made. They will have to. And even today’s industrial powers will shift energy use patterns....[T]he market share for carbon-rich fuels will diminish, as the demand for other forms of energy grows. And energy companies have a choice: to embrace the future and recognize the growing demand for a wide array of fuels; or ignore reality, and slowly—but surely—be left behind.” —Mike Bowlin, Chairman and CEO, ARCO, and Chairman, American Petroleum Institute, 9 Feb. 1999 1 “My personal opinion is that we are at the peak of the oil age and at the same time the begin- ning of the hydrogen age.

    Consumer Willingness to Pay for Vehicle Attributes: What is the Current State of Knowledge? United States ._.,.,~ EA~ Environmental Protection "' Agency Consumer Willingness to Pay for Vehicle Attributes: What is the Current State of Knowledge? Assessment and Standards Division Offce of Transportation and Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Prepared for EPA by RTI International EPA Contract No. EP-C-16-021 Work Assignment No. 1-10 NOTICE This technical report does not necessarily represent fnal EPA decisions or positions. It is intended to present technical analysis of issues using data that are currently available. The purpose in the release of such reports is to facilitate the exchange of technical information and to inform the public of technical developments. EA~United States EPA-420-R-18-016 .....~ Environmental Protection ,., Agency July 2018 ABSTRACT As standards for vehicle greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy have become more stringent, concerns have arisen that the incorporation of fuel-saving technologies may entail tradeoffs with other vehicle attributes valued by consumers including safety, comfort, and performance. To the extent that such interactions are present, they may influence the rate of consumer acceptance of fuel-saving technologies. Understanding and quantifying such interactions, both positive and negative, is important for transportation policy analyses. Not only will these estimates provide a better understanding of the role of fuel-saving technologies in consumers’ evaluation of new vehicles, and in consumer purchase decisions, but they will also enable a better estimate of policy impacts on overall household welfare. Given the potential importance of accounting for consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for changes in vehicle attributes when conducting policy analyses, we conduct a detailed review and analysis of literature that presents or can be used to calculate WTP for vehicle attributes in order to assess the current state of knowledge in this area.

The 2004 comments summarize my background. Rocky Mountain Institute is an independent, nonpartisan, entrepreneurial, nonprofit applied research center that cre- ates abundance by design, chiefly as a consultant to the private sector on advanced resource efficiency. NHTSA is to be strongly commended for adopting a size- rather than weight-based structure for future light-truck CAFE standards. While the specific efficiency standards proposed can and doubtless will be criticized, probably severely, as falling far short of statutory requirements, NHTSA’s proposal to base them on size, not weight, is an important advance. It will create an incentive for decoupling size from weight by adopting lighter-but-stronger mate- rials and advanced designs—a hugely important step toward fuel-efficient cars and a competitive car industry. It will encourage manufacturers to make vehicles that are big, hence protective and comfortable, without also making them heavy, hence hostile and inefficient. Customers who want big vehicles will remain able to get them; there simply won’t be an incentive to make big vehicles heavy nor light vehicles small.
