Winning our Energy Independence by S. David Freeman

“We now realize that the burning of oil, coal, and other fossil fuels creates a greenhouse effect that has caused the earth to warm at a very rapid rate, a worldwide average increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past 100 years. Unless we change our ways, this trend will get worse and worse. We stand in imminent peril within the next decade or two of seeing more severe hurricanes, floods, and glacial ice melt, causing the seas to rise and our coastal areas to become inundated with water. If our high-energy civilization continues the large-scale burning of fossil fuels, it will constitute the most severe security problem that this nation and the world face. Terrorists can kill thousands of people at a time, but the consequences of Mother Nature can—and will—ruin the lives of hundreds of millions.”>
