More or less nonfiction, this raucously funny book throws readers the insider's curveball on oil embargoes, the race to the moon, and an elite think-tank that led the US effort on alternative energy. Part memoir, part energy adventure, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Energy Independence is the serendipitous journey from musician - to college dropout (Bob left after three months to join an experimental band) - to experimental musician - to law school graduate - to space law pioneer - to energy cogeneration consultant - to clean air industrialist - to large wood sculptor - to scientific environmental thinker at large - and back. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Energy Independence is the first energy or environmental book that makes no point and doesn't ask you to think, by a ghost of alternative energy past.
