Publisher's Summary

As president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister was known for being a straight shooter, willing to challenge his peers throughout the industry. Now, he's a man on a mission, the founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy, crisscrossing the country in a grassroots campaign to change the way we look at energy in this country.

While pundits proffer false new promises of green energy independence, or flatly deny the existence of a problem, Hofmeister offers an insiders view of whats behind the energy companies posturing, and how politicians use energy misinformation, disinformation, and lack of information to get and stay elected. He tackles the energy controversy head-on, without regard for political correctness. He also provides a new framework for solving difficult problems, identifying solutions that will lead to a future of comfortable lifestyles, affordable and clean energy, environmental protection, and sustained economic competitiveness.

What the critics say

"[Hofmeister] takes a broad view of what we need to do to craft a successful energy strategy for our nation and has first-hand knowledge of why our past policies have failed to prepare us for 21st century challenges.” (Robert S. Walker, Former Chairman of the Science Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, Chairman of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee of the U.S. Department of Energy)

a splash of ice cold water

Enjoyed the plethora of technical and scientific insight. We should also follow the bread crumbs the author drops in finding the path to balance and sustainability, but most importantly we need to be cognizant of how our energy supply is being delivered. consume less and conserve more.
