Beyond Fossil Fools: The Roadmap to Energy Independence by 2040
Joe Shuster is a chemical engineer who has spent his entire business career in engineering and management roles within diverse technically oriented companies. He co-founded Minnesota Valley Engineering (MVE), which, under his guidance, became the world’s leading manufacturer of high technology, low-temperature (cryogenic) equipment used in industry, medicine, agriculture, and transportation. MVE designed and manufactured hydrogen equipment, enhanced oil recovery systems, and hydrogen and LNG transportation fuel systems. Shuster also founded Teltech, a national science and engineering consulting firm that produced hundreds of technical dossiers on many subjects including gas turbines, photovoltaic manufacturing processes, natural gas purification, fuels cells and many other energy related topics. In addition, he founded or co-founded seven other technology-based companies and has served on the Board of Directors of over twenty businesses, organizations, and international firms. He has received numerous professional and civic awards.
In May of 1973, Joe Shuster wrote an energy alert paper that alerted the U.S. Congress to a pending energy crisis. The Oil Embargo followed within months. He has also testified before congress in support of a National Technology Transfer program.
Now 35-years later he sees the energy crisis continuing. He thinks that it is time Americans stop being fossil fools and end our dependence on foreign oil by supporting a move to renewable energy, with nuclear as the backbone.
