Designed to serve as both a one-stop information source and a guide to in-depth exploration, this eye-opening volume examines the history, consumption, and availability of energy resources in America as well as the influence of energy on the development of modern-day society. Solidly grounded in scientific fact and environmental realities, it offers a sobering look at the current state of our energy resources, related government regulations, the reasons for our slow progress in developing alternative resources, and the economic and social problems that could arise from an energy crisis. This book promises no easy answers, but provides solid, useful information that will serve as a foundation for research, decision making, or simply an enhanced understanding of this critical subject.

Current events related to energy policy – skyrocketing gasoline prices, the 2003 Northeast Blackout, the Kyoto Protocol’s enactment, passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and the influence of recent Gulf Coast hurricanes on energy supplies and prices – demand innovative approaches towards conceptualizing the relationship between energy and American society. This book takes on a central quandary in the study of energy and environmental policy: What myths continue to exist in American culture concerning energy, the environment, and society? It enrolls twenty-four of the nation’s top experts working on energy policy in industry, government laboratories, utilities, nonprofit organizations, and universities to debunk and contextualize thirteen energy myths relating to electric power, renewable energy, energy efficiency, transportation, and climate change. While the book focuses on the American experience, it will be of interest to those working in the fields of energy policy, energy and the environment, and technology assessment worldwide. ‘This is a brilliant, bold, and fascinating book ...that should be read by anybody even remotely concerned about energy, the environment, or the future of American society.’ Art Rosenfeld, Commissioner, California Energy Commission and recipient of the 2006 Enrico Fermi Award ‘...This work is a must-read for anyone interested in American energypolicy.’ Kateri Callahan, President, Alliance to Save Energy ‘...By collecting the best minds to debunk the greatest of these myths, Sovacool and Brown have brought us a step closer to finding a national energy policy based on common sense.’ Chris Cooper, Executive Director, Network for New Energy Choices ‘... Sovacool and Brown provide a bold and imaginative way forward.’ John A. "Skip" Laitner, Visiting Fellow and Senior Economist, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
