"Bernton and his coauthors have produced as much an intriguing history of alcohol fuel in America as they have a study of alcohol as an energy source in the contemporary world. . . . With its good bibliography, helpful glossary, and valuable appendixes on the economics and technology of alcohol power, the book is recommended to all institutions seeking to cover the wide area of energy options and energy politics."—Choice "The Forbidden Fuel looks critically at the promise and prospects of gasohol. . . . A well-researched study."--Sarojini Balachandran, Library Journal "I believe that the industry needs to go back and read this book."—Joanna Schroeder, Domesticfuel.com
