Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence is a book by Robert Bryce which was released in 2008 and is published by PublicAffairs.

Dr. Michael J. Economides[2] writing for Forbes magazine said Bryce "fires in all directions, at liberals, conservatives, Republicans and Democrats.

His is a no-holds barred attack on what he believes is not just the sale of a pipedream in a global economy but one whose pursuit has become the basis for massive worldwide scams.

[3] William Grimes wrote in the New York Times that Bryce employs a "slashing, ad hominem style of attack that can undercut his credibility, especially when he moves away from economics and technology and ventures into politics, an arena to which he brings no particular expertise.

"[4] Richard Whittaker writing in the Austin Chronicle said, "Bryce makes a solid case that energy independence, a totem to both left and right, is not simply unachievable and undesirable but harmful.
