Climate change, pollution, deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer, poverty and the population explosion are the problems created or exacerbated by the use of conventional energy. This title shows that this crisis may yet be reversed - but it can only be made to happen through a fundamental change in political and economic strategies.

Industrial civilization has relied on the combustion of abundant and cheap carbon fuels. But continued reliance has had perilous consequences. Yet there is a solution: to make the transition to renewable sources of energy and distributed, decentralized energy generation. This book provides what must be done to overcome the obstacles.

The global economy and our way of life are based on the exploitation of fossil fuels, which not only threaten massive environmental and social disruption through global warming. This book lays out the blueprints, showing how the political, economic and technological challenges can be met using indigenous, renewable and available resources.
