Gusher of Lies By Robert Bryce

Everybody is talking about “energy independence.” But is it really
achievable—or even desirable? In this controversial, meticulously researched
book, Robert Bryce exposes the false promises and political posturing behind
the rhetoric. Gusher of Lies explains why the idea of energy independence
appeals to voters while also showing that renewable sources like wind and
solar cannot meet America’s growing energy demand. Along the way, Bryce
exposes the ethanol scam as one of the longest-running robberies ever
perpetrated on American taxpayers. In a new foreword to this edition, he
shows how energy independence rhetoric was used during the 2008 election,
even as the heavily subsidized ethanol business fueled a growing global food
crisis.

Everybody is talking about “energy independence.”

The only delusion is by people who think that Americans are addicted
to Oil. Oil is irrelevant and the addiction has nothing to do with it.

Even if all the cars ran on permanently sustainable, environment-
impact-free energy, the problem would still remain. It's not an
addiction to the energy running the cars. It's an addiction to the
damned glorified Wheelchair called an Automobile -- by people who are
too damned lazy, weak, frail or old to get out of their damned cars
and WALK like God intended normal people to do.

If you need to work, then telecommute. If your company isn't
telecommuting then tell them to **** off and get with the times and
stop becoming extinct with the rest of the ancient stuck-in-the-1950's
Boomer Culture they're trying to perpetuate a century beyond its time.

Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of "Energy Independence"

The dangerous delusion of the issue is the very precept: by "Energy
Independence", what people really means is "Another Energy Fix To
Replace The One Going Out And Allow Me To Continue Sustaining My
Addiction To My Glorified Wheelchair".

Hence, the so-called Liberal vs. Conservative debate on this issue is
nothing but a disingenuous Kabuki Dance. It's nothing but
Conserviliberals arguing for the same thing and drowning out dissent
by hogging up the airwaves with a pseudo-debate whose only function is
to cloak their alliance on this one issue: the addiction to the
automobile.

A REAL Conservative (by definition) doesn't use a car or need one.
