 VERY IMPORTANT READ Nov 15, 2009
The authors explain both WHY WE MUST and HOW WE CAN free our country from dependence on foreign oil which is bankrupting our economy, jeopardizing our future as we fill the national bank accounts of oil producing countries and their proxies who seek worldwide dominance of Islam and Shaaria Law through the destruction of America and other Democracies.
This book offers one "game changing" strategy to break dependence upon foreign oil by substituting liquid fuels produced domestically and by friendly nations , at a cost of less than $100 per car utilizing existing and scalable technology. Concisely written in laymen's terms, history, politics, economic and scientific fact are presented along with a hopeful plan for Democracies to safeguard their future.
This should be mandatory reading for every member of Congress with a follow up quiz, the results of which should be published in all local newspapers around the country. Shame on Congress, for having failed to resolve this issue, apparent since the 1973 Oil Embargo and for hiding behind diversionary mumbo jumbo including such as "the Hydrogen Economy" and "Climate Change Legislation".
 Good Insight, but Short Nov 14, 2009
This book presents some very interesting new perspectives on the importance of US oil independence. It's right up to date, even discussing such projects as the Chevrolet Volt. The book is more balanced than many on this subject. It comes to the same conclusion as such others as Energy Victory: that we must get America off dependence on foreign oil as quickly as possible. When you consider that in the last month (October 2009)our exports increased by 3% but our trade deficit increased by 18% because of oil price increases the reason is obvious. OPEC is draining our capital. My one regret is that the book is relatively short. Still it's packed with interesting information. If you're concerned about our balance of trade and homeland security it's a must read.

Turning Oil Into Salt Oct 25, 2009
I have read this book and heard the author speak. This book is the clearest description of the oil dependency situation that I have ever read. The writing is straightforward and direct. she poses the issue of oil dependency and provides a simple and thoughtful solution that is also practical and pragmatic. Simply put, if we drove vehicles that could use a choice of fuels that in itself would destroy oil's strategic position. Oil would become just another commodity. GM already produces flex-fuel cars for Brazil, but they are not required here. Why not?! Simply the politicians put politics over issues. I think we can also assume that Saudi Arabia spreads around a lot of influence in Washington. Drilling more or saving more oil will have no effect when Saudi Arabia controls the market. Big oil is only about 8% of the oil market. Big Oil sees the problem and is becoming a major contributor to battery technology and ethanol production. There is a quick and easy way to have a great impact on this problem. Drive flex-fuel vehicles. Call your senator/congressman. This book is well written and informative.
