内容简介

"A wonderful book, which confounds the conventional wisdom of limits and should put virtually every government energy program out of business" ( Washington Times ) "This is the only book I've ever seen that really explains energy, its history, and what it will be like going forward." (Bill Gates) The sheer volume of talk about energy, energy prices, and energy policy on both sides of the political aisle suggests that we must know something about these subjects. But according to Peter W. Huber and Mark P. Mills, the things we think we know are mostly myths. A better understanding of energy will radically change our views and policies on a number of very controversial issues. In The Bottomless Well , Huber and Mills show why energy is not scarce, why the price of energy doesn't matter very much, and why "waste" of energy is both necessary and desirable. Across the board, energy isn't the problem; energy is the solution. "Provocative.... [An] aggressive manifesto." ( Los Angeles Times )
