Summary

Running on Empty fills an important gap in recent books about the energy crisis and the controversy over global warming. It is an explanation in simple language of the causes of the energy crisis and what the future may bring. It discusses whether we will run out of oil, when it might happen, and whether global warming is real or not. It examines the development of renewable fuels and the likelihood that they can replace fossil fuels any time soon.The section on the global warming debate looks at the pros and cons in which one side claims our use of fossil fuels causes climate change, while the other claims that human activity does nothing to change our climate, and that warming or cooling is the result of natural causes. The recently enacted tax credits for installing renewable energy improvements are described. These credits can reduce taxes and project costs substantially. Finally readers are provided a list of 135 energy and money saving tips for their car and home.
