Create your own local energy project (book)

Power from the People: How to Organize, Finance, and Launch Local Energy Projects

by Greg Pahl, Chelsea Green Publishers $19.95

More than ninety percent of the electricity we use to light our communities, and nearly all the energy we use to run our cars, heat our homes, and power our factories comes from large, centralized, highly polluting, nonrenewable sources of energy. It doesn’t have to be that way. Communities can plan, finance, and produce their own local, renewable energy that is reliable, safe, and clean. Homeowners, co-ops, nonprofits, governments, and businesses are already putting power in the hands of local communities through distributed energy programs and energy-efficiency measures.
