In Future Drive, Daniel Sperling addresses the adverse energy and environmental consequences of increased travel, and analyzes current initiatives to suggest strategies for creating a more environmentally benign system of transportation. Groundbreaking proposals are constructed around the idea of electric propulsion as the key to a sustainable transportation and energy system. Other essential elements include the ideas that: • improving technology holds more promise than large-scale behavior modification • technology initiatives must be matched with regulatory and policy initiatives • government intervention should be flexible and incentive-based, but should also embrace selective technology-forcing measures • more diversity and experimentation is needed with regard to vehicles and energy technologies Sperling evaluates past and current attempts to influence drivers and vehicle use, and articulates a clear and compelling vision of the future. He formulates a coherent and specific set of principles, strategies, and policies for redirecting the United States and other countries onto a new sustainable pathway.

The Hydrogen Energy Transition addresses the key issues and actions that need to be taken to achieve a changeover to hydrogen power as it relates to vehicles and transportation, and explores whether such a transition is likely, or even possible. Government agencies and leaders in industry recognize the need to utilize hydrogen as an energy source in order to provide cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable energy for the world’s economies. This book analyzes this need and presents the most up-to-date government, industry, and academic information analyzing the use of hydrogen energy as an alternative fuel. With contributions from policy makers and researchers in the government, corporate, academic and public interest sectors, The Hydrogen Energy Transition brings together the viewpoints of professionals involved in all aspects of the hydrogen-concerned community. The text addresses key questions regarding the feasibility of transition to hydrogen fuel as a means of satisfying the world’s rapidly growing energy needs. The initiatives set forth in this text will mold the research, development and education efforts for hydrogen that will assist in the rapidly growing transportation needs for automobiles and other vehicles. * Presentations by the world's leaders in government, industry and academia * Real-world solutions for the world's current fuel crisis. * Endorsed by the University of California Transportation Center and Transportation Research Board

director professor urban planner
Sperling, Daniel was born on March 27, 1951 in Albany, New York, United States. Son of Benjamin and Carolyn Scheinzeit Sperling.
Sperling received his bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering and Urban Planning from in 1973, and his Doctor of Philosophy in Transportation Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley (with minors in Economics, Energy and Resources) in 1982.
From 1973 to 1975, he worked as an urban planner for the Peace Corps in Honduras. From 1976 to 1977 he worked as an environmental planner for the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In 1991, Sperling founded the University of California Davis Institute of Transportation Studies, bringing government, industry, and nongovernmental organizations together to conduct groundbreaking scientific research, and better inform environmental and transportation policy makers.
Institute of Transportation Studies-Davis is now home to more than 60 affiliated faculty and researchers and over 130 graduate students.
In 2007, he was appointed to the California Air Resources Board., and named co-director of the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard study. He is currently Vice Chair of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies and in 2015 he will be named Chair.
