| Introduction | |
| |
| |
| |
| The Future Is More, Not Less | |
| |
| |
| A Postindustrial information-based economy demands more energy, not less. Surprised? | |
| |
| |
| |
| Energy Independence? Keep Dreaming | |
| |
| |
| Energy independence should not be a goal-it should be a by-product of effective policies. | |
| |
| |
| |
| There is an Energy Shortage, but There Is No Shortage of Energy | |
| |
| |
| we will never run out of energy, unless we choose wrong policies or fail to implement right policies. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Inconvenient or not, the trust is that climate change is Not the issue | |
| |
| |
| Let's quit debating global warming and manage gaseous wastes as we do other trash. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Beware the Reckless Right and Ludicrous Left | |
| |
| |
| Put in charge of energy, the right wing will destroy the earth, the left wing will destroy the earth, the left wing will destroy our society. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Forget the Free Market | |
| |
| |
| Let's quit pretending .Energy access, production, storage, distribution, and sales have been regulated for decades. | |
| |
| |
| |
| The Industry Is Parochial Surprised? | |
| |
| |
| The energy industry cannot solve our energy crisis I should know. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Oil and Gas: Unlovable and Unavoidable Utilities: Ditto! | |
| |
| |
| The oil and gas industry, locked in its paradigm, is unlovable but essential. So quit complaining and get used to it. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Conservation starts with Land use Management | |
| |
| |
| If we are unwilling as a nation to address urban and rural planning in more signification ways, let's quit pretending we're serious about energy efficiency. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Energy and Politics: Oil and water | |
| |
| |
| There is a basic Conflict between "energy time," which is defined by decades, and "political time,'' which is defined by two-and Four-year cycles. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Our Government is Broken | |
| |
| |
| When addressing energy and the environment, the federal government is paralyzed by partisanship and stymied by dysfunction "Political time" makes it worse. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Here's How we Fix it! | |
| |
| |
| We need an intervention to put the nation on the right course to deliver energy security and environmental protection. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Every voice counts | |
| |
| |
| Governments will create independent regulatory bodies to govern energy security and the environment only if grassroots citizens demand them. | |
| |
| |
| |
| Where Do We Go from Her? | |
| |
| |
| Independent regulatory leadership could launch nations towards multi-decade journeys of unprecedented economic and environmental renewal. Its absence will take many unprecedented energy abyss. | |
