    About this ebook

    Did you know that bio-fuels actually increase CO2 emissions, or that hydrogen fuel cells increase reliance on fossil fuels and imported oil? We have enough oil in the ground to last more than five hundred years, a figure easily verifiable using U.S. government data, yet we're spending billions of dollars to fight an imaginary oil crisis.

    We're subsidizing bio-fuels, fuel cells and windmills with tax dollars while the national debt crisis threatens to throw the U.S. economy into a tailspin. Foreclosures, unemployment and cutbacks continue to dog the working class, but government policies place misguided environmental agendas ahead of human needs. The European Economic Community is on the verge of collapse because it has taken these measures even further: a disaster that could throw the entire world economy into depression.

    I have worked in the energy and petrochemical fields for thirty years, and I know that we are not running out of oil or destroying our planet. I have written Kids Before Trees in response to the relentless flood of crisis reports that tell us we are. It is an irreverent, provocative, enjoyable kick at an establishment that is profiteering from the business of fear.

    Kids Before Trees shows the real costs and social implications of spending trillions of dollars on environmental initiatives that do not have any real benefit for the environment. It simplifies important issues such as renewable energy and the price of oil, and explains them in terms everyone can understand. It also demonstrates how the news media and some scientists and environmentalists use sensationalism, propaganda and false information to mislead the public about these issues.

    Kids Before Trees illustrates how deeply people suffer because money that could be helping them is being diverted by false claims and half-baked reports. This fear mongering is costing you higher taxes, higher energy prices, and a serious loss of freedom. Find out what you can do about it. If you are concerned with high taxes, rising costs and the environment, Kids Before Trees is for you! You will be shocked to realize how deeply you are involved in seemingly distant issues. Together we can kindle a grass roots revolution that will change the nation and the world.

    This work is very well referenced and cited, using footnotes and endnotes to provide concrete evidence from easily verifiable and indisputable sources to support these contentions.

    Author

    Geoffrey Sander

    In 1981, facing a depressed future in farming, I began a career in Power Engineering. Starting at an entry-level position, I worked my way up to senior management positions in the business of oil production. I am considered by many to be an expert in my field. I've shuddered at the lies and misleading reports foisted on a trusting public by irresponsible reporters and dishonest scientists. As an industry insider, I can present the real truth about energy and environmental issues in an engaging, humorous, and readable format. I currently instruct students who are entering the field of power engineering.
