- Summary:
-
"Gusher of Lies shows why the U.S. must continue buying foreign energy for decades to come, including crude oil from Canada and Saudi Arabia, gasoline from Venezuela, natural gas from Trinidad, coal from Colombia, and uranium from Australia. It explains why Brazil, often held up as a shining example of ethanol's viability, is actually a classic example of the redeeming power of oil. Gusher of Lies eviscerates the ethanol scam. Whether the issue is cost, water consumption, food prices, or the energy balance, the corn ethanol boondoggle is one of the longest-running robberies of taxpayers in U.S. history." "Energy is too important to the economies of the U.S. and the world to allow discussions about it to devolve into meaningless rhetoric. With this book, Robert Bryce explains why the idea of energy independence is so appealing to voters, and why renewable technologies like wind and solar cannot supply enough energy to meet America's enormous demand."--BOOK JACKET.
