This book examines the diverse types of energy, their resource abundance and the material needs to develop and use them, and how communities and cities can better control their own destinies by locally managing energy use and generation. This approach does not suggest the undoing of existing infrastructures and energy providers, but rather a cooperative transition from national-regional energy management to a more local-centered system. Finally, it provides a number of specific policy initiatives and strategies that can both facilitate and drive the process of evolution of our energy system to a sustainable future.
