Book review: The power surge: energy, opportunity, and the battle for America’s future

"The Power Surge: Energy, Opportunity and the Battle for America’s Future." Michael Levi. Oxford University Press. May 2013. --- In The Power Surge, Michael Levi takes readers inside the USA’s unfolding energy revolutions, and discusses how both fracking and eco-startups can offer big opportunities for the country to strengthen its economy, bolster its security, and protect the environment. Luba Pirgova finds that academic readers may be disappointed by the lack of scholarly references, but for those looking for a light and accessible explanation of the energy options in the USA this is a recommended read.
