UC Irvine professor, Peter Navarro's image rich and lively take on our energy crisis is a refreshing departure from dry academic commentaries. Navarro puts listeners right into the action, vividly describing a car accident and his ensuing love affair with a rental Prius.
A way to save fuel by ... driving more? That's one option Peter covers in "The Gas Game".
Peter is a good talker, he knows the commentary and works it well, jumping right into the piece from the first sentence. He's totalled his car and rents a hybrid to check it out, becoming infatuated with the gauges and fuel efficiency. Then he turns it into a game.
This commentary fits alongside any fuel shortage story and could lighten bad news. There will probably be ample opportunities to use this piece in the coming years.
