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
"If you have read enough already about our problems and are motivated to get to work, this book is for you.

and Relocalize, this handbook should be on the work-desk of anyone
planning for a Post-Carbon world."

"This book is for pioneers in the great project of the new century. It will
remain a touchstone informational resource for many years to come. May
we all engage deliberately, proactively and enthusiastically in the energy
transition, and learn to enjoy life without fossil fuels."
