      abstract = {Americans take for granted that when we flip a switch the  light will go on, and when we pull up to the pump gas will  be plentiful and relatively cheap. Here, Michael Graetz  shows us that we have been living an energy delusion for  forty years. Until the 1970s, we produced domestically all  the oil we needed. Since then, we have had to import most  of the oil we use, and we rely on an even dirtier  fuel--coal--to produce half of our electricity. Graetz  describes decades of energy policy incompetence--from the  Nixon administration's fumbled response to the OPEC oil  embargo to the current political standoff over "cap and  trade"--And argues that we must make better decisions for  our energy future. Until Americans face the facts about  price, our energy incompetence will continue--and along  with it the unraveling of our environment, security, and  independence.--From publisher description.},
