I hesitantly ordered the book thinking it would be dull but was intrigued by the author interview I saw on TV... Wow! Once I started reading, I buzzed through it and understood our energy situation in a new light. Shuster is right to be worried about the futures of our grandchildren! Read his book to find solutions and hope! We can only solve the problems once we understand the facts.

Shuster's book is a landmark work on the energy crisis we are facing today. He pulls no punches. What really infuriates me is the total lack of media coverage on the newest nuclear energy developments. T. Boone Pickens picked the wrong horse! The 'Fast Neutron Reactors,' UREX+ and the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) seem to me to be the answer to many of our current energy and weapons proliferation...

I read this book and learned many facts that absolutely astounded me. We have been fooled, lied to, misinformed and misdirected for WAY TOO LONG. Read this book and YOU will be able to tell if our leaders, 'experts' and journalists are speaking energy truth or fiction. This book is a GREAT GIFT to every one of us. Buy one, read it and pass it on to a friend.

Synopsis

If the U.S. solves only its own energy problem, but the world does not, then everyone still loses. Pollution knows no borders and a sinking ship takes down everyone on board. That is why all countries must do what they can to affect a global transition to all-renewable, clean energy by 2040. That means a coordinated global effort with global scope. That means leadership from the United States, Europe, China, India, and Japan. That means diligent commitment from average citizens around the world, and corporate and national leaders.

Robert Eagan - Library Journal

Beneath the snappy title lies a thoroughly engaging book. Septuagenarian Shuster, a chemical engineer by trade, wants the world to adopt a mix of sun (10 percent), wind (10 percent), and the atom (80 percent) to fill humanity's energy needs, and he wants it accomplished by July 4, 2040: Energy Independence Day! Shuster argues that it is imperative to transform transportation as quickly as possible from internal combustion engines to hybrids and electrics, to aggressively develop biofuels, and to fast-track nuclear power (particularly "fast-fusion" technology). With exclamatory, uppercase, boldfaced bluster he exhorts the reader to disregard global warming, do not worry about planting trees, do not bother with carbon cap and trades, and forget conservation-these are, he claims, just distractions from the real peril of the continued burning of fossil fuels. Suitable for most collections.
