I highly recommend this interview, it’s quite long, about 25 minutes of the 55 minute recording, but it’s the first part of it. Bryce points out some very common fallacies about energy independence, bio-fuels, etc.

If you’re using Windows, you can stream it from this page, or just download the mp3 and listen to it like a podcast.

It’s a US Presidential election year and all the candidates are talking about energy independence. It’s a national security issue and very much part of the US climate change debate. But US author Robert Bryce says such talk, for any country in the world, is based on a dangerous delusion

Robert Bryce has little time for the ideology of either the Neocons or the Greens and as for the politics and economics of ethanol, he argues that something is very rotten in the state of Iowa.
