Description

Everybody is talking about energy independence." But is it really achievable,or even desirable?

In this controversial, meticulously researched book, Robert Bryce exposes the false promises and political posturing behind the rhetoric. Gusher of Lies explains why the idea of energy independence appeals to voters while also showing that renewable sources like wind and solar cannot meet America's growing energy demand.

Along the way, Bryce exposes the ethanol scam as one of the longest-running robberies ever perpetrated on American taxpayers.

In a new foreword to this edition, he shows how energy independence rhetoric was used during the 2008 election, even as the heavily subsidized ethanol business fueled a growing global food crisis.
