Overview

Who Turned Out the Lights is an entertaining and nonpartisan guide to the current U.S. energy crisis from Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson, co authors of the breakout bestseller Where Does the Money Go At once light-hearted and fun—like Jon Stewart's America: The Book and Stephen Colbert's I am America (and So Can You!)—and deadly serious, Who Turned Out the Lights helps readers understand what's really at stake in the energy debate, an intelligent answer to the partisan Capital Hill squabbling between the “Drill, Baby, Drill” and “Every Day is Earth Day” lobbies.

I would hope that government officials, politicians, and everyone that should be involved in the energy crisis- which means you and me-would read Who Turned Out the Lights? This book is factual but not boring. Its suggestions for energy consumption are meaningful. -- Blogcritics.org
