Energy Keepers Energy Killers: The New Civil Right Battle exposes the wrongs done to the poor and minorities by environmental and political elites trying to eradicate fossil fuel production - coal, oil, and gas - supposedly to save the world from global warming. Author Roy Innis, national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, shows how their wrongheaded policies price energy out of reach and violate the civil rights of all Americans, but hurt the poor and minorities worst. Innis demands an end to this energy racism and calls for the opening of all federal lands - which belong to the disadvantaged as much as to well-funded environmental leaders - to more energy production in a sustained campaign to increase supply and lower prices. Innis reveals the flaws in global warming hysteria and makes the stunning fact clear in his Energy Reality chart that so-called alternative energy from wind and solar power actually provided less than one-half of one percent of America's energy needs in 2006.

Review:

Energy Keepers - Energy Killers is the Art of War of this millennium. It brilliantly analyzes the politics of energy, and the ways public policies can affect the civil rights of all Americans. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the relationships between energy, economic opportunity and environmentalism. Roy Innis is to be commended for his objective, scholarly discussion of energy, economics, climate change and the future of this great nation. --John Meredith, Project 21 and Meredith Advocacy Group

Energy Keepers hits the nail on the head. Roy Innis book is a must-read. Coming to grips with Energy Gaps and other issues raised in this book is vital, if we care about our children and grandchildren and the kind of world we ll leave them. There s no evidence that burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic climate change. And the only petroleum shortages we face are politically induced. Fossil fuels must continue to play a dominant role, if we are to safeguard our poor and elderly, and encourage economic opportunity in the United States and around the world. --Pat Boone & Jim Martin, 60 Plus Association

Roy Innis has given us an inconvenient sleuth into the world of the modern day environmental movement! Even for people who never thought energy could be interesting, Energy Keepers - Energy Killers is a great read! Every parent who cares about the future of their children should check out this book. It kicks butt, names names and it s long overdue! If every American would read any one chapter, a new civil rights movement would definitely emerge! I d love to see one Energy Killer forced to live the lifestyle they are forcing upon others ... No energy resources, no income, only this book to pass the time. --Al Sonja Schmidt, writer, producer and author
