Acknowledgments
The authors would first like to thank everyone at Strata Policy and the Insti-
tute of Political Economy at Utah State University who helped contrib-
ute to this book, especially to the dozens of student research associates
who spent countless hours researching and collaborating.
We further want to thank our significant others who put up with the
long hours, endless discussions of electrical generation and energy policy.
Without their support and patience this book would not have been possi
ble. So to Bradley, Troy, and Cody we say thank you.
As we worked to put this book together, we were able to explore new
and interesting ideas that have the potential to have huge implications for
the environment, the electric grid, and as a result human flourishing. We
hope that the people who helped contribute to this book and all those who
read it will work to achieve more prosperous and free societies by affect-
ing a change in the climate of ideas.
