The book traces four decades of U.S. energy policy failures — from post-1970s rising dependence on imported oil and increasing reliance on coal to mismanaged energy legislation, misguided subsidies, and political gridlock. Graetz argues that Americans have long paid artificially low prices for energy, masking the true environmental, security, and economic costs, and calls for systemic change to address climate, dependence, and sustainability.
