5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, June 6, 2006
By T. Trotter (Tempe, az United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Biodiesel America: How to Achieve Energy Security, Free America from Middle-east Oil Dependence And Make Money Growing Fuel (Hardcover)
Biodiesel America is a great book. Unlike Dolton Rocha I did read the book and found out what Mr. Dalton Rocha did not. One is the old saying, "Do not judge a book by its cover", holds true.

I found out that Biodiesel is not the singular solution for our energy crisis. Mr. Tickell puts everything into perspective showing how we will have a multiple solution to breaking dependence on foreign oil of which Biodiesel, Ethanol and other biomass and renewable fuels will all be part of the total solution.

Biodiesel America points out that there are many sources other than soybean oil for feedstock for biodiesel production. Soybeans are only a small portion of the crops that can be used to produce biodiesel and is not necessarily the best.

Biodiesel America is a must read for every true American. We need to all pull together to rise out of this crisis and break our dependence on oil and fuel from external sources.

I just hope many people read this book and learn about all of the possible solutions that are available to America. Biodiesel America teaches us that we cannot be narrow-minded in what will lead us to the final solution of independence.

Finally, this book is a must read for every politician in the country no matter the party orientation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A disturbing look at our energy dependence mixed with hope for an exciting future, February 8, 2006
This review is from: Biodiesel America: How to Achieve Energy Security, Free America from Middle-east Oil Dependence And Make Money Growing Fuel (Hardcover)
Biodiesel America is more than just a wake-up call about the political, economic and social costs of our nation's energy dependence. It provides a useful background about how we got into this situation. It delivers a balanced insight into the alternative energy strategies available today. Tickell uses biodiesel as the flagship example of how a successful alternative energy model can work across all sectors including agriculture, government, education and business. Unlike many "social impact" books this one is well researched with an extensive bibliography, glossary and end notes. Best of all it provides a prescription of how individuals can start taking control of their energy independence. If you want a balanced and thoughtful perspective on our energy future I highly recommend you read this book and share it with family and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solution for the future, February 14, 2006
This review is from: Biodiesel America: How to Achieve Energy Security, Free America from Middle-east Oil Dependence And Make Money Growing Fuel (Hardcover)
Finally a solution that makes sense for America's growing gas crisis. This book explains not only how Biodiesel can wean America off of fossil fuels, but also what an enormous profit the farming industry could make growing fuel. Tickell's writing style is clear and will not leave you scratching your head in confusion. All points are well thought out and researched. Now the question is, how can American government continue to ignore the growing Biodiesel movement?
