ENERGY POLITICS (3rd Edition)

Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated soft cover/NF w/trace wear to corner tips. David Howard Davis began writing the first edition in the fall of 1972 when gasoline was thirty-five cents a gallon, and a barrel of crude oil was a dollar fifty! Even so, that energy was in a state of "a fool's paradise" was already clear to author Davis. Alas, all the rest of us too blind, too content, too lazy, too uninformed to know. This mongraph examines the politics and policy issues regarding energy production and distribution. 8 chapters: 1, Introduction; 2, King Coal; 3, Oil: The New King; 4, Natural Gas; 5, Electricity; 6, Nuclear Energy; 7, The New Fuels; and, 8, Conclusion, followed by Further Reading, Glossary, & Index.
