Description

Cheap fossil fuels are scarcer and scarcer. More and more people are looking for alternative energy choices. This book can help.


Pahl offers examples of developments, neighborhoods, and transit projects that make good use of alternative energy sources. He describes alternatives that are currently available and that can be adopted by communities—neighborhoods, towns, and region—as well as individuals.


Each chapter focuses on a different renewable energy sector—solar, wind, water, biomass, liquid biofuels, and geothermal— then reviews their advantages and disadvantages and describes numerous examples of proven local initiatives.
