5.0 out of 5 stars
it's new energy time--or are really controlled by OPEC?,
This review is from: Alternative Fuels (Applied Energy Technology Series) (Hardcover)
With all the talk, since 1973, of an "energy crisis", the Worldis drowning in energy sources and resources. This book is highly recommended by 'moi' or me, because in the 1920' and the 1930's, ersatz or synthetic oil, gasoline, and lubricants, were being developed in Germany. This means that there have been alternative fuels in use before World War Two, and this technology has been economically viable for more than 60 years. Is U.S. Energy Independence really possible? This book states that it's more than possible, more than probable, if not a "slam-dunk" if we utilize our Free Enterprise system, in this quest for Alternative Fuels. Professor Lee's book on Alternative Fuels is super-excellent, and you get your "money's-worth" in the process. Also, we MUST develop Cars, not just a few thousand hybrid vehicles per year. I would also read books by the late R. Buckmaster Fuller. This is where Dr. Lee's fine text is going. Alternative Fuels--YES----Alternative Transportation--also-YES. I back Dr. Lee's book--ALTERNATIVE FUELS. Read It. You just might learn a great deal. It offers many approaches that are a "MUST READ". From this, energy policies will be a "MUST DO". The technical reading are down to Earth. There are many examples of the future of World energy resources. So--BUY THE BOOK!! Dr. Nick Stage-PHD., from Indiana
