Featured Guests:
Robert Bryce has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows that have aired on the BBC, MSNBC, and Australian Broadcasting Corporation. In addition, he's been on CNN's Inside Politics, PBS's The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer, NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross, and Talk of the Nation. He has been writing about the American energy business since 1989. His articles have appeared in dozens of publications including the Atlantic Monthly, Slate, New York Times, Washington Post, American Conservative, The Nation, Washington Spectator and The Guardian. His first book, Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron, received rave reviews and was named one of the best non-fiction books of 2002 by Publishers Weekly. His second book, Cronies: Oil, the Bushes, and the Rise of Texas, America's Superstate, was published 2004. Bryce spent 12 years writing for the Austin Chronicle. His latest book, Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence, shows why the U.S. must continue buying foreign energy for decades to come, including crude oil from Canada and Saudi Arabia, gasoline from Venezuela, natural gas from Trinidad, coal from Columbia, and uranium from Australia. It explains why Brazil, often held up as a shining example of ethanol's viability, is actually a classic example of the redeeming power of oil.? Energy independence is neither desirable nor doable, Robert argues. America requires too much energy, and the $5 trillion-per-year global energy business is just too interconnected for the U.S. to simply withdraw from it.
