Summary

Lives Per Gallon is a searing indictment of America's oil economy and a powerful prescription for change. Tamminen reveals the true price of oil: tens of billions of dollars spent annually to secure our global supply; crops ruined by petroleum pollution; cancer, asthma, and birth defects caused by car exhaust. Offering real-world solutions, Tamminen poses a vital challenge: kick the oil habit or continue paying in lives per gallon. Book jacket.
