Foreword by Ralph Nader. Environmental activists Berman and O'Connor have written a critique of U.S. energy generation and use in which they lay the blame for the decline of the solar industry on the electric utilities and their allies in Washington, DC, and state capitals. Beginning with a short history of U. S. energy policy, they detail the accomplishments of solar-power pioneers and enthusiasts, then depict an industry addicted to fossil fuels that is leading the country down a dangerous path. Solar technologies--including photovoltaics, wind and hydroelectric turbines, and solar water-and space-heating--are more cost-effective than ever before, and they offer an inexhaustible source of power for the entire planet. The authors argue that democratic control of solar energy is the key to revitalizing America. A decentralized solar economy would bring thousands of new jobs to local communities that would no longer be exporting millions of energy dollars every year to transnational corporations and oil cartels.
