Gasolinegate - Paperback

by Burl Haigwood (Author), Doug Durante (Author)

Do you know what's in your gasoline?

Our addiction to gasoline threatens our lives as we breathe toxic carcinogens in our fuel. For over 100 years, the oil industry duped the public and collaborated with the federal government to protect its gasoline market. As a result, consumers waste billions of dollars, public health is compromised, and the nation remains captive to foreign oil.

Authors Burl Haigwood and Doug Durante tell this story based on over 30 years of working to champion clean fuels to reduce our dependence on oil. With first-hand accounts from Congressional leaders, entrepreneurs, and clean energy supporters, they take you inside the process of government, legislation and regulations, and how it failed the public.

Gasolinegate is a must-read for anyone who cares about the environment and health care, the price of gasoline, the future of biotechnology, and how many pounds of toxic emissions we ingest daily. It's more than you eat, drink, or think.

Gasolinegate will help you understand how and why the public got duped into believing gasoline was safe and there were no alternatives.
