This book examines the proposition that granting control over decision making to cities, states, or regions rather than to the federal government can result in more efficient energy planning. It discusses the relationship between decentralization and small-scale technologies.
It is a story grounded in history, and it demolishes the myths that ultimately allowed one of the most ill-prepared, unethical, vindictive, and truth-challenged politicians in history to position himself as America's savior by tapping into the nation's darkest tendencies.
