I have always believed that when you are researching things, you need to have opposing views in your research. This book was very helpful in allowing me to see that the green movement is not all it's cracked up to be. It shows some of the effectiveness of alternative energies that may be green, but don't really amount to much. You may not sway a hard and true greenie with this information, but for those of you who have balance in mind, it gives you sensible arguments on the "global warming" push to be green.

Chapters in the book include are alternative eneergy sources necessary? is nuclear power a viable enrgy alternative? what energy alternative sources should be pursued? should alternative alternative to gasoline powered vehicles be pursued? this book contains topics on wind, solar, methane, and geothermal power information. why not pursue more of this power. it costs a lot more money than burning fossil fuels but these alternate energy sources dont hurt the enviroment. you be the one to chose which is better. This book also contains many arguements on nuclear power and questions about oil and gas reserves and how we cant live without them. Read this book. it is very informative and has both sides to the arguement.
