"The Fake Energy Solution"

"The Fake Engery Solution" by Jeff Goodell, Rolling Stone (February 25, 2006), p. 37
Goodell is the author of the forthcoming book Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future.

From the article:

"When President Bush unveiled his 'Advanced Energy Initiative' during his State of the Union address, it was heartening to hear him admit that America is 'addicted to oil' from the Middle East. ... Now if someone would just explain to the president that technology is not the same thing as magic, we might someday see the United States adopt an intelligent energy policy."

If you are interested in exploring alternative fuels, in this article the author takes a brief look at the usual culprits--Big Oil, Big Coal, Wind, Solar, Hydrogen--and offers a few facts and a lot of ideas for focusing your research on a particular energy source, along with keywords to use in your research.

Read or watch the President's "State of the Union" address. Find additional information and analysis in news, business, policy, and environment/pollution research resources.
