The First Billion is the Hardest by T. Boone Pickens - I just finished this well written autobiography which includes an analysis of America's oil consumption. He suggests that natural gas is a local resource that could be used in place of the oil that we import from other countries. He has ideas for keeping the money in our own country, and for becoming self-reliant as a nation when it comes to natural resources, which, after all, are finite. There is so much good stuff in this book. It's very difficult to effect change in America, though. My favorite quote: "A fool with a plan can outsmart a genius with no plan any day". I'm not sure who the fools are, though!
