It is delivered through long, brittle transmission lines, and then is squandered through inefficiency and waste. But it doesn't have to be that way. Communities can indeed produce their own local, renewable energy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePower from the People\u003c\/em\u003e explores how homeowners, co-ops, nonprofit institutions, governments, and businesses are putting power in the hands of local communities through distributed energy programs and energy-efficiency measures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing examples from around the nation - and occasionally from around the world - Greg Pahl explains how to plan, organize, finance, and launch community-scale energy projects that harvest energy from sun, wind, water, and earth. He also explains why community power is a necessary step on the path to energy security and community resilience - particularly as we face peak oil, cope with climate change, and address the need to transition to a more sustainable future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book - the second in the Chelsea Green Publishing Company and Post Carbon Institute's Community Resilience Series - also profiles numerous communitywide initiatives that can be replicated elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Green Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Power from the People: How to Organize, Finance, and Launch Local Energy Projects | Greg Pahl | Paperback | 9781603584098 | Used: Like New | Politics 1703309","offer_id":50832265642242,"sku":"1703309","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71awcW36RQL.jpg?v=1792602587","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/power-from-the-people-how-to-organize-finance-and-launch-local-energy-projects","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
