Written by INFORM's senior research fellow James S. Cannon, The Transportation Boom in Asia: Crisis and Opportunity for the United States details how soaring oil use and expanding transportation in China and India have put these countries on a collision course with the US. The 42-page report addresses in detail the trends in transportation development and oil consumption in China and India and the implications for the US; what these three countries' goals are for developing sustainable transportation in the long run; and, the steps they are taking today to mitigate the effects of the growing competition for access to oil - the world's most rapidly dwindling fossil fuel.
