 Key energy issues we all should understand, now made clear. Oct 01, 2008
By Garry Grzelak
"hard working Eng Mgr type"
Jeff has really narrowed down the key energy issues that face our nation today. He has real data to support what we really need to know about renewable sources of energy. Jeff has a simple way of presenting perspective on a fairly complex energy issue we all sense is looming in our future.
His analysis of the benefits and risks associated with the different alternatives available is easy to understand and insightful beyond anything I've read about alternative energy issues. This book is an easy read that allows you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the energy issue from several different angles.
It is so refreshing to read an intelligent documentary of the energy solutions from an unbiased source whose motivation comes from educating the public and not some other self-serving cause. This is a must read for anyone interested in making an educated decision about how to spend our vital few dollars on new alternative energy sources.

Thought Provoking Guide For U.S. Energy Independence Nov 13, 2008
By Aaron Layman
Jeff Wilson offers a wonderful guide which outlines simple steps the U.S. can take to end our oil addiction. The book is concise and easy to read. Even a politician could understand it, which is why I think it should be required reading for all elected officials.
Energy prices are falling because of the global economic meltdown, but that doesn't change the dynamics of the long-term global energy crisis. Our freedom and our future standard of living are at stake. Wilson offers compelling solutions that are well within our reach.

Innovative and Intelligent Nov 16, 2008
By R. S. MAYER
We live in a world with a unhealthy addiction to oil and the dire need to kick this dependence is bearing down on us. What happens when we run out? I don't even want to imagine how bad society will become at that point for myself or my future generations. Learning to overcome this battle is crucial and will be a real accomplishment for mankind. Our realization that we need to change our unhealthy lifestyle is so urgent that we needed to start yesterday and with each of us individually not just a few. This book enables and enlightens those of us that need to become more aware and concerned as well as giving all of us a tangible and applicable way of doing so. This book breaks it down into an "easy to understand and do" approach to kicking the habit and becoming a more sustainable global society. A must read for every American that cares about their future and those of their loved ones.

Very informative! Nov 12, 2008
By Michael Marcinanis
This book was recommended to me by 3 people in one weeks time! I thought I was well educated on the subject of energy independence and well versed on solar energy, wind energy, bio fuels, and oil etc. I was amazed at how interesting and educational this book is. I think I will send President Elect Obama an inauguration present...this book! Wilson is definitely a top notch researcher and his math and engineering background is evident as this book is very factual and backed up with hard data. Every aspect of oil, where we get it, as well as it's depletion. If you think this last year was hard on us it is nothing compared to what the future holds. I had no clue that we were using oil at twice the rate new oil is being discovered and that all the easy to drill oil is pretty much depleted already. He walks you through each aspect of our addiction to foreign oil, each alternative source of energy and their practical use and hard data on to what extent each would replace fossil fuel. This book includes step by step plans that would be needed for congress to implement The Manhattan Project of 2009. You will be hearing a lot about this book and this author in the near future for sure.
