From the Inside Flap
Between rising oil prices, global instability, and environmentaldeg-radation, most Americans acknowl-edge the need for energyindependence. Yet our political dialogue tends to focus more onrhetoric than substance, leaving citizens scratching their headsabout what they and the country can do to break free from energydependence.

"A Declaration of Energy Independence" takes a nonpartisan, honest approach to energy issues and answers fundamental questionslike whether the price of oil will ever go down; whether globalwarming is a real threat; and whether ethanol and other biofuelsmake sense in the long run.

As the former head of the Energy Information Administration atthe U.S. Department of Energy, author Jay Hakes had an exclusive, inside look at America'senergy problems. Now, combining un-disputedfacts and solid science with historical and political context, Hakes offershis expert insight on the situation and presents viablesolutions for a more stable political, economic, and militaryfuture for America.

America's addiction to oil isn't just a pocketbook problem; infact, it represents a grave security threat with even greaterlong-term consequences than the Iraq War. Far beyond the risingprice of gas, our oil addiction puts dollars in the hands offoreign despots and funds international terrorism. In addition, anysevere disrup-tion in the flow of oil can leave our militaryvirtually crippled and unable to respond to crises around theworld.

America can break out of the energy trap if we approach theissue honestly, intelligently, and with the political will tocreate a better future. "A Declaration of Energy Independence"offers a real-world look--without the ideological blinders ofthe right and the left--at how we got into this mess and, moreimportantly, provides effective solutions to get us out of it.

Jay Hakes was head of the Energy Information Administration at the U.S. Department of Energy from 1993 to 2000, where he oversaw the collec-tion and dissemination of America's official energy data and analysis. He has given testimony before congressional committees on more than twenty-five occasions and is currently head of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta.
