A transition to more fuel-efficient / electric models with less of an environmental footprint, including reducing the amount of driving we need to do by investing in clean / robust / easy-to-access public transportation and cycling infrastructure, is a great start.
Give it time. Electric vehicles will be more affordable, but we just need to have rich people buy more of them to bring down price. Kind of like the flatscreen tv was unattainable for most families when they first came out.
