Energy for Future Presidents

The near-meltdown of

Fukushima, the upheavals in the Middle East, the BP oil rig explosion, and the

looming reality of global warming have reminded the president and all U.S.

citizens that nothing has more impact on our lives than the supply of and

demand for energy. Its procurement dominates our economy and foreign policy

more than any other factor. But the “energy question” is more confusing,

contentious, and complicated than ever before. We need to know if nuclear power

will ever really be safe. We need to know if solar and wind power will ever

really be viable. And we desperately need to know if the natural gas deposits

in Pennsylvania are a windfall of historic proportions or a false hope that

will create more problems than solutions. Richard A. Muller provides all the

answers in this must-read guide to our energy priorities now and in the coming

years.
