Better yet just for the people who are tired of spending sixty dollars a week just on gas.My name is Ashley Joseph I'm a sophmore at Kelvyn Park high school and even I realize that there's a problem with us being so dependent on other countries for oil. And even I realize that biodiesel can be a great solution for this growing problem. Josh ...

Rating:  - Why Smart Energy Policy is as Important as A Strong MilitaryAn excellent overview of this country's energy history and energy options and a good starting point from which to learn more. Not a left wing political rant nor an argument for biodiesel as an energy panacea. Tickell emphasizes the economic costs of our energy dependence and the benefits of energy self-sufficiency from a practical perspective - certainly a highly relevant subject in light of the turmoil in the Middle East.
