I would require the 'Big 3' car companies to only make electric cars - or at least to not make any cars that run on gas. Make all of them take the same size batteries - getting the gas stations to add a battery swapping station too.

I think that then Segway sales would soar!

"I would require...", hmmm.

If you are considering a fascist takeover of American industry in order to increase Segway sales, why not just dictate that each household purchase one Segway per member over the age of 2? Anything short of forcing people to buy Segways at gunpoint leaves open the option to buy a more efficient transportation alternative, say an electric assist bike.

Personally, I'm still a big proponent of democracy and capitalism. Let the people decide. Libertarianism with a hint of anarchism floats my boat.
