SolarTimes editor Sandy LeonVest (www.solartimes.org) talks to energy researcher and author Al Weinrub about his groundbreaking new publication, Community Power: Decentralized Renewable Energy in California, which focuses on both the benefits and feasibility of decentralized renewable energy. In this well-researched study, Al Weinrub goes further than most of his contemporaries, offering what is essentially a roadmap for communities interested in implementing small scale renewable projects, while graphically illustrating how and why communities need to “take back the power” and break away from the corporate-controlled energy model.
