Description (excerpt):

To counter the myths and misunderstandings surrounding energy, the Institute for Energy Research produced Hard Facts, an energy primer that offers an in-depth explanation of domestically produced fossil fuel and renewable energy sources. For example, readers will learn that petroleum provides more than 35 percent of US total energy and that global proven oil reserves doubled in the last thirty years thanks to improvements in oil exploration and production technologies. Hard Facts will educate the layman, the news reporter, and the policymaker about domestic energy resources.  Hard Facts provides a foundation from which an honest and meaningful conversation can take place on our energy future.
