Consuming Power: A Social History of American Energies

Rating:
Summary: everyone in the energy field should read this
Review: I thought this book was fascinating. I have been doing research on energy for a long time and this is one of the best books I have read. Nye examines the role that energy use has played in American society -- an important relationship that energy analysts have generally ignored. The book is very readable and well-researched, and always interesting.
