I would very much like for this to be true:
We've developed a telecommuting model which shows that if the 40% of U.S. workers that studies show could work from home actually did, the U.S. could reduce Gulf Oil imports by 74%, and reduce gas consumption by 11.5 billion gallons a year. That would save consumers $52 billion and reduce greenhouse gases by 101 million tons. If those 40% worked from home half the time—roughly the national average for existing teleworkers—the savings would be $40 billion and 78 million tons of CO2.
