Description
Dependence on foreign oil is one of the great challenges for modern America. America the Prisoner: The Implications for Foreign Oil Addiction and a Realistic Plan to End It (ISBN: 978-0-9842478-0-6) not only paints a path to energy salvation, it also explores in depth the hidden consequences of foreign oil addiction. Most Americans do not realize that the long standing dependence on foreign oil has far reaching implications for their daily lives. This book dives into the complex world of economics and boils it down into language the average American can understand. It goes beyond a cursory analysis and uses hard facts and figures to show how the world petroleum trade and the cash flows associated with it distort the US financial systems, impact interest rates, and contribute to the creation of asset bubbles, ultimately culminating in the financial crisis. But foreign oil dependence and economic turmoil need not be America's destiny. America the Prisoner explores how a revolution in technology based on nearly a century of research and development offers the promise of safe, clean, affordable, and, most importantly, domestic renewable energy.
