The time is long past to put shovels in the ground and build the energy infrastructure and energy future we want and need. Using a solutions journalism approach, Communities and the Clean Energy Revolution documents the stories of pioneers in the transition to clean energy who are bringing clean energy projects to life in their communities. By deftly adjusting its lens from the high level policy landscape to specific people, places and projects (Queremos Sol, Ruth Santiago, Blue Planet Energy, Soulardarity), the book renders the policies and concepts of the energy transition--prosumer, energy democracy, distributed generation--tangible and accessible, allowing readers to see the pathologies of the existing energy system as well as the actions that can change it.--Katrina Fischer Kuh

"[The] book and film can be used for more advanced courses after students understand systems, units, and quantities. In this case, the book-film reminds them that far more than technology and policy are involved. Inevitably, new systems must be acceptable to people, and Communities and Power cover issues usually ignored. -- ""Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences"" The time is long past to put shovels in the ground and build the energy infrastructure and energy future we want and need.
