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. 000351822 650_0 $$aEnergy policy$$zUnited States. 000351822 650_0 $$aEnergy development$$zUnited States. 000351822 650_0 $$aEnergy industries$$zUnited States. 000351822 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic policy. 000351822 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000351822 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGraetz, Michael J.$$tEnd of energy.$$dCambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, 2011$$z9780262015677$$w(DLC) 2010040933$$w(OCoLC)666573631 000351822 8520_ $$bacq 000351822 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000351822 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3339198$$zOnline Access 000351822 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351822$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351822 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351822 980__ $$aBIB 000351822 982__ $$aEbook 000351822 983__ $$aOnline
