Description
In 2022, the world was plunged into an energy crisis. The Russian invasion of Ukraine jeopardized energy security, while profits soared for oil and gas companies and climate breakdown continued to accelerate. How did such interlocking crises come to be in a world of abundant renewable energy?
This book exposes the energy crisis as an inevitable result of an industry run by and for corporate profit. Energy policy was never meant to favor sustainability or energy security - for decades, it has been shaped by corporate interests while hampering renewable alternatives. Now, we suffer the cascading consequences. Written by a leading energy expert, Energy Revolutions reveals the urgent need to radically increase state intervention, including public ownership, and deploy energy democracy for the public interest. Exploring examples of energy democracy worldwide shows us how to fight back against fossil fuel interests, avoid climate catastrophe, and transform energy into a cheap, decentralized good for all.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
