Everybody is talking about "energy independence." But is it
really achievable? Is it actually even desirable? In this
controversial, meticulously researched book, Robert Bryce
exposes the false promises behind the rhetoric while
blasting nearly everybody— Republicans, Democrats,
environmentalists, and war-mongering neoconservatives—for
misleading voters about our energy needs. Gusher of Lies explains why the idea of energy independence
appeals to voters while also showing that renewable sources
like wind and solar cannot meet America's growing energy
demand. Along the way, Bryce eviscerates the ethanol scam.
Whether the issue is cost, water consumption, or food
prices, corn ethanol is one of the longest-running robberies
ever perpetrated on American taxpayers. Consumers concerned about peak oil and the future of global
energy supplies need to understand that energy security
depends on embracing free markets and the realities of
interdependence. Gusher of Lies is illuminating, vital reading.
