WASHINGTON

In the new book "AN UNWORTHY FUTURE: The Grim Reality of Obama's Green Energy Delusions" (from Archway Publishing), economic analyst Joseph Toomey provides an evaluation of how President Obama's green energy program is built upon a mountain of falsehoods and fallacies, how it will endanger America's drive toward energy independence, and why it will fail.

This fact-packed, thoroughly documented book incorporating years of original economic research demonstrates that every emission reduction achievement will be overwhelmed by developing nations. Toomey's research shows that renewable energy is economically infeasible at current development stages, costs dozens to thousands of times more than the climate change damage it seeks to mitigate, destroys more jobs than it can create, reduces economic growth, is unreliable, has resulted in failure everywhere it has seen wide-scale deployment, and often causes more ecological harm than fossil fuels.

Consider some "inconvenient truths" Toomey presents: Biofuels impose a cost on U.S. consumers 9,862 times greater than any climate benefit they or their distant progeny will ever derive. Obama's carbon tax would cost Americans $1.2 trillion over 10 years but would only reduce the planet's projected 22nd century temperature increase by 0.038 degrees. Germany will spend $280 billion on solar subsidies by 2030 but that investment will only forestall 22nd century global warming by a mere 37 hours. States with green energy mandates suffer from higher unemployment, lower GDPs, and higher energy costs.

"An Unworthy Future" is not another skeptical global warming polemic, but a thoroughly researched economic evaluation of how and why green energy will fail. It will also explain how it will greatly impair real job creation, reduce incomes, restrain economic growth, hinder U.S. global competitiveness, drive up energy costs, inhibit energy independence, and endanger climate change adaptability.
