Energy Democracy

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the Energiewende movement in Germany, this book examines how citizens mobilized to influence energy policies, leading to significant changes like the shutdown of nuclear plants post-Fukushima. It highlights the role of community groups in promoting energy efficiency and renewable initiatives, such as solar panels and wind farms. By emphasizing local ownership and collective action, the authors argue that this transition not only combats climate change but also empowers communities and democratizes the energy sector globally.
