“As students, we hear a lot of talk, and read much about the country’s energy problem and the pollution that goes with it. It’s all very confusing and often contradictory; while there seems to be a big problem, nothing much, it seems, is being done about it. No one has made it understandable. That’s why Beyond Fossil Fools is a double gift of insight and hope. It helps us see the future, encourages us to engage it, but mostly this book offers a reason to be optimistic with a ready solution- maybe the only one. Every parent, teacher and particularly every high school and college student should read this book. It is about our future –and how we can help to shape it.”

After reading ”Beyond Fossil Fools” I found the problems/solutions in the book remarkable, and almost surreal in a way. Being only 16, I’ve only just begun learning about the world’s dilemma with fossil fuels, but with the help of this book I have come to understand that these problems have no simple solution as most would hope they would. The message that I am getting from Mr. Shuster is that with everyone making one small step towards the use of renewable energy we, as a nation can become energy independent by 2040. Shuster seems to have a strong and certain understanding of how to go about these world-wide affairs with sensible and environmental friendly solutions. I loved this book and I think that for many others, reading what he has to say will be a relief from what they’ve been seeing and hearing these past few years!
Good Luck!
Sincerely,
