We are not running out of energy. Our nation contains vast amounts of untapped energy resources which are available at a relatively low cost. These resources are not concentrated in Texas or Alaska; rather, they are dispersed throughout the country in the communities where we live. The energy sources I speak of are solar and conservation. These two energy supplies are both bountiful and inexhaustible, yet they are largely ignored by our policy makers. Solar development and efficiency improvements can do much more than provide us with less costly energy. They can help us escape from the economic suicide of continued dependence on conventional energy resources. - Foreword.
