"This book gives me hope that not only can we survive the coming troubles (Peak Oil, climate change, pollution, corporate globalism), we can actually make the Earth into a really nice place to live. There is so much good plain common sense in this book, mixed with visionary genius, plus very detailed instructions, for breaking free of the need for gasoline. It is a blueprint for taking control of our energy future. It describes how combining sustainable agriculture and alcohol fuel production can solve most of the Earth's most pressing problems in elegant, simple ways, starting with you and me and our family and neighbors. And the author is no Pollyanna - he looks all the problems square in the face and shows what we can do. He answers all the myths about ethanol (which are fueled by oil companies), and, as far as I'm concerned, exposes and explodes them. The book has over 400 footnotes and is the most credible thing I've seen in ages."
