And if Washington gets the rules wrong, the race will flounder or even run horribly off course. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Jim in NCOverall a fascinating book EXCEPT for the section on transportation (pp 216-231); it reads like a PR piece for the U.S. automobile industry and/or a junior high report. Very strange, considering the quality of the rest.

Unfortunately, too many environmental groups, like author Fred Krupp's Environmental Defense Fund, refuse to even consider nuclear power, a technology that is already available and widely used around the world to produce huge amounts of essentially greenhouse gas-free electricity. The book devotes about two pages to nuclear power near the end, but they read like a half-hearted afterthought. ... Read More Rating: - Great book to improve understanding of the energy debateThis book details the global crisis stemming from our energy usage and the related carbon emissions, and pushes cap and trade standards/policy as the optimal solution. Although the primary concern here is the environment, the economic & defense implications are also clear. Chapter by chapter, it delves into various alternative sources of cleaner energy by detailing accounts of multiple entrepreneurs and scientists in each field. The science gets a little technical for a layman at times, but I learned ... Read More
