"How far will we go to satisfy our oil addiction, and who will decide your energy future? If you want in on this discussion, then this book is for you."

- Antonia Juhasz,
author of "The Tyranny of Oil"

"In this clear, concise, and accessible book, Bittle and Johnson go beyond name calling and finger pointing and take a refreshing middle ground. It's an invaluable read for anyone interested in our energy past, present, and future."

- Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder, authors of "The Clean Tech Revolution"

"Why did we write this book? Because four in 10 Americans can't name a fossil fuel. Get the facts on our energy future."

- Jean Johnson, co-author, "Who Turned Out the Lights?"

"Thought-provoking and refreshing. I wish we could have Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson as our all-powerful 'Energy Czars.' They might be the people who can take us out of the realm of­ 'Pick a Little, Talk a Little'­ to the world of actually doing something about energy."

- David M. Kinchen, Basil and Spice: Views on Life

"A refreshing and grounded approach spliced with references to pop culture and things we all encounter in daily life… Bittle and Johnson provide a recap… from a perspective not often found in academia, industry, or politics—that is, unbiased, bipartisan, and real."

- Dr. Patrick E. Meyer,
in an Ecolibris review

"Who Turned Out the Lights?" authors Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson talk about these issues and more, in an interview on PBS' Bill Moyers Journal. Click here to watch the video.

"When it comes to energy and climate change, Americans are a lot like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day: reliving the same day over and over again. We can't keep doing the same things and expect things to get better."

- Scott Bittle, co-author of "Who Turned Out the Lights?"
