I recommend folks read Energy Victory.
“I recommend folks read Energy Victory.”
Absolutely. Read this book. No excuses. It will “blow you away” when you realize what it is saying.
What surprised me in reading this book is that ethanol is not the government boondoggle I had been lead to believe.
Actually, I started reading it over the holidays, got about 2/3 of the way through, then dropped it — not because I was bored with it, but just because I moved on to something else. I need to get back to it. And we need to get serious about breaking our dependence on oil for transportation.
Zubrin is quite a character. Several years ago I attended an AIAA dinner meeting in which he spoke about his plan to get humans to Mars within ten years. He is very smart and inspiring. His plan to get to Mars obviously didn’t pan out, but I doubt it was due to any major flaw in his plan. I can only hope his energy ideas receive a better hearing.
