Driving the Future
Combating Climate Change with Cleaner, Smarter Cars
A distinguished expert offers a dazzling preview of the cars of the future, while exploring the science and politics behind climate change.
In Driving the Future, Margo Oge portrays a future where clean, intelligent vehicles with lighter frames and alternative power trains will produce zero emissions and run at 100+ mpg. With electronic architectures more like that of airplanes, cars will be smarter and safer, will park themselves, and will network with other vehicles on the road to drive themselves. Offering an insider account of the partnership between Federal agencies, states, environmental groups, and car manufacturers that led to the historic deal, she discusses the science of climate change, the politics of addressing it and the lessons learned for policymakers.

Praise for Driving the Future
“Margo tells the incredible story of how California and then Washington overcame the fierce opposition of the auto companies and finally were able to mandate much more efficient and cleaner cars and light trucks. This is the story of how hard it is to combat climate change — and also how imaginative and determined leaders can get it done.”
—Jerry Brown, Governor of California
“Margo Oge describes the astounding transformation of cars and trucks in America—cutting pollution by more than 97 percent, and greenhouse gases by more than half—and shows the way to complete this job. It is a compelling story and a great read.”
—Hal Harvey, CEO of Energy Innovation
“Driving the Future is a testament to the progress that is possible when committed public servants are allowed to follow the scientific evidence where it leads and to envision and then execute ambitious plans for a better technological and environmental future.”
— Lisa Heinzerling, Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center
“Margo Oge provides a riveting insider’s account of the people, science, politics, and technologies behind an improbable victory in the battle against global warming. Based on her understanding of how regulation can drive innovation, she depicts a future in which cleaner, lighter, smarter cars will become tools in the fight against climate change rather than contribute to it. Every citizen should read her book and feel proud of what we can accomplish together.”
—Lisa Jackson, EPA administrator, 2009–2013

“Drawing upon her experience as an architect of game-changing fuel economy standards, Margo Oge gives us a roadmap to a future world of better and cleaner cars, healthier air, reduced geopolitical conflict, and stronger communities. If we get there, it will be because of visionaries such as Oge.”
— Ken Kimmel, president, Union of Concerned Scientists
“Driving the Future is a real-world story about the policy visionaries, business leaders, and dedicated citizens who are spurring the clean energy revolution—and ushering in a new era of prosperity for our nation and the world.”
—Fred Krupp, president, Environmental Defense Fund
“Driving the Future is the story of a dramatic success in a key battle in the fight against global warming—improving the environmental performance of vehicle fleets—with a lucid explanation of how to bridge science and public policy. Reading the book is as pleasant as having a talk with a good friend, and as informative as a full course in public policy.”
—Mario J. Molina, PhD, professor at the University of California, San Diego, and winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
“It’s a great story: an insider’s account of the unprecedented collaboration of politicians, regulators, and industry that created the world’s first standards for low-carbon vehicles and a practical guide to steps that all of us—including consumers—must take to create a global market for vehicles that can take us where we want to go while dodging the worst effects of climate change.”

—Mary Nichols, chairman of the California Air Resources Board
“Margo and her team at the EPA helped craft far-reaching GHG and fuel economy standards for the US that are accelerating the adoption of future automotive technologies like plug-in electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. Margo has the credibility and the record for convincingly discussing a carbon free future in her book, a vision we share.”
—Ulrich Kranz, BMW, Senior Vice President, i Product Line
“Margo has given us a fascinating insider’s view of regulatory development and a framework for collaborative rulemaking that literally changed the face—and tailpipes—of an industry, and a thoughtful look forward to future opportunities.”
—Tom Linebarger, chairman and CEO of Cummins Inc.
“Five stars to Margo Oge! She may be a veteran regulator, but she also has the vision thing, the broad historical and conceptual perspective that made her one of EPA’s stars in the historic achievement of cleaner cars and in the cause of averting climate change. Not to mention that her writing is fluid, engaging, and makes a complex story hard to put down.”
—William Reilly, EPA administrator under President George H. W. Bush
“This book should be a must-read for anyone who wants to know how the regulatory process actually works. Margo Oge provides a compelling insider’s account about the making of President Obama’s landmark vehicle emission rules. She describes how she and her dedicated team at EPA fought political interference under the Bush Administration, formed a crucial partnership with innovative California regulators, and found key allies within the new Obama team.”

OGEAuthorMargo Oge served the United States Environmental Protection Agency for more than 30 years from 1980 to 2012. She is widely recognized as having been a key architect of the EPA's efforts to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.During her recent 18-year tenure as Director of the Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Margo led the EPA's first ever national greenhouse gas emission standards for cars and heavy-duty trucks to double fuel efficiency by 2025, reduce GHG emissions by 50%, and save consumers $1.7 trillion at the pump. In parallel, she also helped to establish the renewable fuels standard, which will significantly increase the volume of biofuels in our nation's fuel supply. These new rules are viewed as some of the most significant steps forward in improving the sustainability of the U.S. transportation sector. Under her leadership, the EPA addressed indoor air pollution and developed the scientific findings that raised the world’s awareness about the health dangers of second-hand smoke and radon.Margo earned her Master's Degree in Engineering from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. She also attended George Washington University and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.-Συγγραφέας--Margo Oge σερβίρεται από τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες Υπηρεσία Προστασίας του Περιβάλλοντος για περισσότερα από 30 χρόνια από το 1980 έως το 2012.

Παράλληλα, βοήθησε επίσης στη δημιουργία του προτύπου ανανεώσιμων καυσίμων, η οποία θα αυξήσει σημαντικά τον όγκο των βιοκαυσίμων στον εφοδιασμό καυσίμων του έθνους μας. Οι νέοι αυτοί κανόνες θεωρούνται ως μερικά από τα πιο σημαντικά βήματα για τη βελτίωση της βιωσιμότητας του τομέα των μεταφορών των ΗΠΑ.
