[Chris Mooney] is a leading U.S. science writer. In the June issue of the highbrow magazine Harper's, he was one of a team of authors setting forth a program for repairing the "misdeeds and missteps" of the George W. Bush administration. [David Strahan]'s writing style is clear and forceful and rich in wit and imagery (his advice for saving gasoline: "drive like an old man, not a boy racer"). He examines the widespread economic, industrial and even social effects of diminishing oil. Each documents his observations and viewpoints with wide-ranging and up-to-date research. Like Mooney, Strahan exposes the self-serving arbitrariness of the Bush administration in manipulating facts and hiding or censoring documents to cover up its practices and deceive the public.

Without details, we are left to assume that the measure is supposed to help establish hybrid vehicles in the marketplace. That's a good thing because everybody knows the hybrids use less gas, conserving energy. On the other hand, they cost more than comparable gas-only vehicles, so governments have introduced tax breaks for environmentally conscious consumers who want to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels. Since rebates-for-hybrids became all the rage over the past five years, governments have handed out taxpayers' money to many, many hybrid buyers whose vehicles are less fuel-efficient than many gas-only cars. Even the rose in the lapel of the hybrid industry, the Toyota Prius, can be challenged by conventional vehicles. As the Los Angeles Times reported earlier this year, the Prius...

If you take the situation right here today, then it's better to burn natural gas in a high-efficiency furnace," he said. "...But I was in the process of changing my furnace, and I've put in a furnace that's going to last 20 years or more. I'm counting on everybody getting away from fossil fuels. Program coordinator Chris Higgins conceded some people initially find it hard to understand the idea, particularly when they come from a hydo-rich province. "People will say, 'I don't have to worry about electrical efficiency... The only reason I would save power is so they can send it to someone else in California. Why would I bother?'" For those who lack the set-up or cash for geothermal, natural gas is still slightly cheaper than electricity. Including space and water heating and a tank of ...
