??As the world passes through Peak Oil and society begins to
Powerdown and Relocalize, this book will be of tremendous assistance
to citizens and communities. Greg Pahl succinctly outlines why we need
to use much less energy and then gives options and examples of how
renewable energy can be produced locally. This handbook should be on
the work-desk of anyone planning for a Post Carbon world.?
??Julian Darley, founder and director Post Carbon Institute
" If you have read enough already about our problems and are motivated
to get to work, this book is for you. By placing renewable energy into
a broad social context, it will help citizens work cooperatively with
governments and businesses to create community-scaled solutions. I
wish I??d had this book years ago."
??Dr. Jason Bradford, Willits Economic LocaLization
" As oil reserves dwindle and global warming accelerates, a rapid switch
to renewable energy is imperative. The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook
provides an inspiring vision and a wonderfully specific blueprint for
saving both the planet and our other greatest natural
resource??our shredded sense of community."
??Ross Gelbspan, author of Boiling Point and The Heat Is On.
"The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook should be in the hands of every
community activist across North America. It promises to be the
catalyst that finally moves community ownership to the forefront of
renewable energy development."
??Paul Gipe, author of
Wind Power: Renewable Energy for Home,
Farm, and Business
"Greg Pahl's Energy Handbook is a lucid, easy-to-read guide to what
citizens of the planet can do about our energy dilemmas."
