Reviews

[Simon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Anyone concerned with the future of energy policies and supplies should read this short book. Black clearly describes the source (and frailty) of current energy sources and describes a series of cogent strategies for decreasing the dependence of the US on foreign oil. Some of the strategies appear incompletely developed and I'm sure that lobbyists for the oil industry will find major holes in the reasoning. However, ignoring the facts is not a viable strategy and implementing the ideas put forth is critical for the future health of US society.
