If you wish to reduce a dependancy on oil before the oil runs out there has to be an incentive for people to switch over. One might be some form of reduced tax, or tax credit or some other option that makes those vehicles less dependant on oil more attractive.
Ironduke's argument is that there was a tax break given to make business vehicles cheaper, thus incentivising the small business start-up - this was inadvertently used by people to purchase SUVs. The transformation in that sector of the car industry shows the effect such incetives can have.
