Description
Scientists tell us we need to cut carbon emissions immediately to forestall effects of global warming. Reducing fossil fuel use is the key, and energy experts are hard at work devising solutions. But how did we get here? This book looks at America's long and complex relationship with energy to provide insight into how new ideas might work.
For planners and other community leaders, the book offers the information to make better choices about energy in their communities. It suggests possibilities for community energy planning and explains current trends in sustainable energy policy. The book features a comprehensive energy timeline from 1775 to the present. Each chapter provides primary web sources, and the book contains a complete index.
