Antonia Juhasz
Antonia Juhasz is an investigative journalist whose latest book The
Tyranny of Oil answers today's most pressing energy questions:
• Why did oil and gasoline prices rise and fall so quickly?
• Where will prices go in the future?
• Who’s really controlling those prices?
• How much oil is left?
• How far will Big Oil go to get it?
• And at what cost to the economy, environment, human rights, worker
safety, public health, democracy, and America’s place in the world?
Juhasz investigates the true state of the U.S. oil industry—uncovering
its virtually unparalleled global power, influence over our elected
officials, its lack of regulatory oversight, the truth behind
$150-a-barrel oil, $4.50-a-gallon gasoline, and the highest profit in
corporate history. Exposing an industry that thrives on secrecy, Juhasz
shows how Big Oil manages to hide its business dealings from policy
makers, legislators, and most of all, consumers. She reveals exactly how
Big Oil gets what it wants—through money, influence, and lies.
For more information on Juhasz and the other books and articles
that she's written--and there's a lot more--check out her
website.
Copies of her book The Tyranny of Oil will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
