Purchase options and add-ons

Ronald Stein and Todd Royal, two seasoned veterans of the energy industry, explore the implications of a world reliant on intermittent green electricity in this book.

They highlight how the use of petroleum led to the Industrial Revolution; the dark side of electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels; and why China and India - two of the world's most populous countries - are rejecting the use of renewable electricity from wind and solar.

Before fossil fuels, life was hard and dirty with shorter life expectancies. Thousands of products made from petroleum derivatives used for medications, electronics, plastics, and transportation simply did not exist.

Many developing countries still don't have easy access to fossil fuels. With limited transportation systems and few petroleum-based products, they do not enjoy the same opportunities as others.

Meanwhile, leaders around the globe are suggesting intermittent electricity from solar panels and wind turbines can save us. The reality, however, is much more complicated.

Find out what the world would really be like without fossil fuels with the insights and wisdom in Just GREEN Electricity.

This was an informative and well researched counter argument to the "go green" push.

Before the read, I had not spent much time considering the products that the petroleum industry produces that we are dependent on like electronics, medications and plastics. In addition, the reality that the "go green" industry is actually built with products that come from petroleum. If any country moves to all renewable energy, it will force that country to be more dependent on oil products from other countries.

Reduce your carbon footprint. That is easier said than done. I'm glad I purchased the book and took the time to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another important book by Stein and Royal
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020
I thought I had a grasp on the crucial issues facing our country in terms of energy independence vs. the concerns raised by the increasingly voluble advocates for green and renewable energy. But this book, and the authors' earlier primer, Energy Made Easy, have really opened my eyes -- and added to my alarm for the future of our country. Doing away with fossil fuel, as too many politicians say, isn't a wonderful idea that would entail certain sacrifices (while bringing wonderful new "green" jobs), but a catastrophic policy, that would end life in America as we know it . Sound apocalyptic? Of course, but let the authors take you through the data, and the implications of that data, and you, too, will share my apprehension. Without those trucks rolling across the country, and those containers ships crossing the seas, delivering the foods, and medicines, and a gazillion life-sustaining products, 24 hours a day, our supermarkets will become like the empty-shelf horrors of Venezuela, a country which destroyed its own pertroleum industry. Buy this book, read it, and sober up from the green fairytale of windmills and mirrors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oil, who needs it?
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020
Can you make a list of even 50 items in everyday use that are derived from fossil fuels (oil)? This is a book for anyone willing to thoughtfully consider how the "Green New Deal" might affect their life, and the lives of future generations. The authors have diligently researched the subject, analyzed the data, and presented the results in logical, well organized chapters that can be easily understood by the average reader.

Naive, uninformed politicians and environmental zealots have made this topic the basis of much political rhetoric without a basic grasp of how fossil fuels play only one role in the complex array of the many products extracted from a barrel of crude oil. Hydrocarbons (oil) are as integrated into our everyday lives as surely as it is into our DNA. Stein and Royal explore the "side effects" of how eliminating fossil fuels would leave us and our children in a forbidding and hostile world. In fact, fifty items produced from oil represents less than 1% of the thousands of everyday items that we have grown accustomed to expect, and demand, from fossil oil production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, A Must Read!
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020
An excellent book, carefully researched, clearly written, and arriving at undeniable conclusions regarding the so-called “Green Revolution”, .Stein and Royal have clearly done their homework and have explored the key elements and fallacies of this movement. I strongly suggest this as a “must read” for anyone seeking to understand the many aspects of this topic. This work will provide the reader with a complete and concise understanding of the several components of the Green New Deal Resolution and the consequences of imposing this plan on the economic, social, and individual aspects of the world’s civilizations. This should be required reading for voters who may be asked in the future to provide their support or non-support for this plan. As an informed person, you will be glad you read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars jargon-free comprehensive engineering text
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2021
I have read several of this team's books and this one is by far the BEST. Their skill sets in Engineering are clearly evident. Their explanations of the connections between technology and political agendas is faultless.
Chapter One, focused on California, is especially perceptive, including many connections with that State's real-world infrastructural and economical declining--which is precipitous and increasing in speed with the terrible drought that began in 2020.
