Who Turned Out the Lights? is an entertaining and nonpartisan guide to the current U.S. energy crisis from Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson, coauthors of the breakout bestseller Where Does the Money Go? At once light-hearted and fun--like Jon Stewart’s America: The Book and Stephen Colbert’s I am America (and So Can You!)--and deadly serious, Who Turned Out the Lights? helps readers understand what’s really at stake in the energy debate, an intelligent answer to the partisan Capital Hill squabbling between the 'Drill, Baby, Drill' and 'Every Day is Earth Day' lobbies.
