Synopsis

Shuck the Sheiks contains the facts about ethanol that the oil companies don't want you to know. Corn ethanol is currently blended in thirty percent of the gasoline sold in the United States, but it continues to be attacked in the press and in media coverage. Typical arguments include: "it costs more to produce than it is worth" or "it is only affordable because of tax subsidies." Both of these messages are wrong!The oil companies marketing departments want you to believe such statements. Unfortunately, most of us do. In Shuck the Sheiks, author Andrew Zacharias shows the positive net energy balance of ethanol and the subsidies that oil receives from our tax dollars, making ethanol subsidies look like a pittance.Learn more about the positive environmental effects of ethanol, the economic benefit of producing domestic ethanol as opposed to foreign oil, and the amount of money the United States spends defending our oil supply with our military in the Middle East. The cost of importing foreign oil is too great for America, and every barrel that can be replaced will loosen the oil-noose from around our necks.
