The Citizen Powered Energy Handbook: Community Solutions to a Global Crisis

This is a very inspiring book! I agree with Greg Pahl, that the future of America lies in action at a community level that promotes and lives sustainable principles. There is strength in communities that pool talents and resources that the lone wolf survivalist will never come close to attaining. This book looks at energy production on a community level, and shows clear examples of how it is done, from the wood chip power plant of Burlington Vermont, to the sustainable community commitment of Willits California, to the wind and biomass energy coops of Denmark, Holland and Germany. Pahl shows us many options for making Community Supported Energy (CSE) a reality in our own communities. At some not-to-distant future time, CSE could be the cornerstone that helps us to maintain some level of a modern technological society as the global economy slides into history.
