Bottomless Well

For all the talk about energy, energy prices, & energy policy, we actually know very little about what¿s at stake. This book shows that energy isn¿t the problem -- energy is the solution. They explain: why demand for energy will never go down; why most of what we think of as ¿energy waste¿ actually benefits us; why more efficient cars, engines, & bulbs will never lower demand; why energy supply is infinite; why gasoline prices matter less & less; & why hybrid engines will most likely lead us to cars propelled by the coal-fired & uranium-fired grid. As for the much-maligned power grid itself, it¿s the worst system we could have except for all the proposed alternatives. Expanding energy supplies mean higher productivity, more jobs, & a growing GDP. Charts & tables.
