The Citizen Powered Energy Handbook

The Citizen Powered Energy Handbook: The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook provides a clear-eyed view of the current energy situation and it points toward a sustainable path forward. Greg Pahl examines renewable energy technologies currently available and homes which utilize strategies that can be adopted by individuals and especially communities. Such cooperative initiatives have been common in Europe for years and are beginning to gain a foothold in the U.S. because these medium-scale projects successfully bring people together to create collective energy security for a neighborhood, town, or region while strengthening the local economy. Each chapter focuses on a different renewable energy sector (solar, wind, water, biomass, liquid biofuels, and geothermal) before reviewing their advantages and disadvantages and describing numerous examples of proven local initiatives. The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook is an eloquent appeal and a practical handbook for community and regional action to deal with environmental challenges head-on and to take responsibility for energy supplies now controlled by large, distant utilities and consortiums. This is the book for anyone ready to take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.
