A Declaration of Energy Independence Reviews

Hakes's insights into the politics of energy make the book especially relevant this voting season, and it would be a good addition... ( Library Journal , September 2008) Evenhanded and insightful history...a compelling tutorial for anyone seeking to understand the geopolitical forces that have America over a barrel of oil. ( Atlanta Journal-Constitution , August 10, 2008) ...an outpost of sanity in the mostly absurd babble surrounding the 'energy crisis' ( E & P , September, 2008)
