I think it is quite obvious that the number of SUVs on the road have skyrocketed (I myself now own one). A lot of this has to do with marketing and a perceived "need" of the public. It is in a way a chicken or the egg thing. SUVs, however, now seem here to stay. The idea of banning them or burning them is not possible. I think the engineering of SUVs needs to be improved without compromising function. A temporary fix may be the digging of ANWR in light of the current Middle East crisis. Perhaps in time, that source will not be as urgently necessary.
