Summary

The near-meltdown of Fukushima, the upheavals in the Middle East, the BP oil rig explosion, and the looming reality of global warming have reminded the president and all U.S. citizens that nothing has more impact on our lives than the supply of and demand for energy. Its procurement dominates our economy and foreign policy more than any other factor. But the "energy question" is more confusing, contentious, and complicated than ever before. We need to know if nuclear power will ever really be safe. We need to know if solar and wind power will ever really be viable. And we desperately need to know if the natural gas deposits in Pennsylvania are a windfall of historic proportions or a false hope that will create more problems than solutions.

Richard A. Muller provides all the answers in this must-listen guide to our energy priorities now and in the coming years.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Unbiased facts. Refreshing perspective!

I liked this. it's basis is unbiased facts, that can be proven using numbers and reasoned using logical argument. It's a refreshing refreshing feeling having information provided in a concise and no nonsense fashion. Where necessary and opinions are part of this book the logic behind them are provided for perspective.

Awful

What would have made Energy for Future Presidents better?

I'm an environmental consultant myself and I found this book shocking in its ignorance and its selective use of information.

Would you ever listen to anything by Richard A. Muller again?

No.
