Fuel Under Fire: petroleum and its perils

Fuel Under Fire assesses the fuel industry and its many problems.  It is an informative read to learn about the fossil fuel industry.  There is little discussion in the book about the spectrum of green fuel alternatives currently under development and commercially viable alternatives that are not being promoted by energy companies and investors in general.  Millions of dollars have been invested in renewable resources over the past couple of decades while billions of dollars are spent on fossil fuel projects.  The book missed the mark on electric cars in failing to point out how the market has advanced with the introduction of the Tesla electric car and the public demand for practical cars that consume less gas.  Alternatives are being developed but at a slow rate.  When the cost of fossil fuel becomes prohibitive, change will happen.
