Freedom from Oil

"When David Sandalow writes about energy and the environment, we should
all pay close attention."-Al Gore

"Freedom from Oil is a compelling analysis of one of the great
challenges of our time. David Sandalow draws upon his extensive White
House experience and offers a powerful vision of a clean energy
future."-William J. Clinton, 42nd President of the United States

"David Sandalow's Freedom from Oil should be required reading for all
concerned citizens and elected officials."-U.S. Senator Richard G.
Lugar(R-IN), from the Foreword

"One of the clearest, most innovative approaches to energy that has been
written. A superb combination of policy and politics, cast in highly
readable government policy and memo format. Every American should read
David Sandalow's book." -General Wesley Clark

"Superb analysis and recommendations that show how we can break our
dependence on oil without further dithering. The next Administration, or
this one, could do no better than to go with Sandalow's package." -R.
James Woolsey, Vice President Booz Allen Hamilton; former director,
Central Intelligence Agency

"Freedom from Oil should be at the top of the reading list for America's
next president . . . This is an important book for anyone concerned
about the most pressing threat to our security, our economy and our
environment." -Frances Beinecke, President, Natural Resources Defense
Council

without having read the book you can make no such statements.

What does reading the book have to do with the quotes I've provided? The quotes show that these guys are not ready to do the real work and yell fire in a crowded theater. They will tell stories while the building burns in stead.

you are just being your usual curmudgeonly self.

And you still have your head in your ass.

It is entirely
possible that with concerted development in PHEVs and moving on into
densified development and public transport, that liquid fuel
consumption could be quartered on a decadal timescale.

Wow, how do you come up with that number?

The only
problem is doing it. which of course will not happen.

So, I'll put books on my reading list that are not made of fairy tales...
