Join Joe Shuster, the author of Beyond Fossil Fools, for a relevant and revealing talk on the most important issue of our time: energy.
Shuster, a Minnesota businessman, entrepreneur and chemical engineer, will lead you on an energy road trip to U.S. energy independence in one generation. He will outline how we must urgently map a new energy direction to avert the energy disasters that loom on the horizon. His clear and quantified presentation defines the problem, explores the possibilities and then shows the roadmap to a solution, complete with costs and a timeline for implementation.
About Mr. Shuster:
Joe Shuster, a chemical engineer for more than 50 years, founded or co-founded eight companies, many addressing diverse energy-related issues. He co-founded Minnesota Valley Engineering (MVE), the world’s leading manufacturer of high-technology cryogenic equipment used in industry, agriculture, transportation, and medicine. MVE designed and manufactured equipment for hydrogen handling, enhanced oil recovery systems, and transportation fuel systems. Shuster also founded Teltech, a science and engineering consulting firm that produced hundreds of technical dossiers, including reports on photovoltaic manufacturing, fuel cells, natural gas purification, and other energy-related topics. He accurately predicted the oil embargo of 1973 in an energy alert paper he wrote for the U.S. Congress. He also testified before Congress in support of a national technology transfer program.
About “Beyond Fossil Fools”:
“Parts of this book will astound you, and anger you; the rest will give you hope, and if author Joe Shuster had his way, motivate you to action. Most of all, this book, in a conversational and straight-forward tone, will educate you about this country’s and the world’s energy problems. The most important issue of our time is energy, and this book in a clear quantified presentation defines the problem, and then shows the way to a solution, complete with costs and a timeline for implementation.”
“Beyond Fossil Fools is a rallying cry, a call to action, a declaration of energy independence.
The world must abandon fossil foolishness if we are to create and enjoy prosperity and a cleaner environment. Clean, renewable, efficient, eternal energy is available, completely affordable, and attainable within 30 years”
“Beyond Fossil Fools opened my eyes. It is a political, economic, and financial epiphany…. The United States must move to renewable and affordable energy in the next 30 years…. The message is clear and convincing. Every policy maker, corporate executive, and thoughtful citizen must read this book.”
—Tim Penny, former Democratic U.S. congressman, 1983-1995 and co-author of Common Cents & The 15 Biggest Lies in Politics
