    This is a well researched vehicle which makes a lot of sense if the U.S. government gives up its militaristic approach to economics. All the breakthroughs previewed in the book are possible, but need capital which is now going down the wartime drain, and the paranoic need to keep our country defended militarily. While we have the strongest military, we now have the weakest economy. When we change our economic priorities we may be able to create industry which really meets the needs of our people!!

    This book is a bit more on the technical side for the average reader, but it goes int some details about the very positive things that are being done by US businesses and entrepreneurs to combat rising carbon emissions and global warming.

    This book reviews the various technologies available to reduce the effects of Global Warming. While dealt in an evenhanded and balanced manner the bottom line for most of these technologies is to be subsidized by government or industry.

    I, for one, don’t see why these technologies should not stand on their own merits without subsidies. Look at what the government has done with ethanol (covered in the book) and you’ll understand why.
