“The world is in crisis over Climate Chaos and multi-dimensional inequities. About Power shows how the electric utility industry contributes to this crisis, and how delivering electric utility services properly could instead provide solutions.”
–Mark Ritchie, former Minnesota Secretary of State and Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army

A primary reason we have accelerating Climate Chaos and profound societal inequity is that society delivers electric utility services upside down and backwards. On the demand-side, electric utilities are financially healthier when they emit more pollution, while conservation reduces their earnings. On the supply-side, big, very expensive power lines get built to accommodate large, remote wind and solar developments from the top down, instead of first developing strategically sized community-based renewable energy projects that require little or no new transmission infrastructure.

About Power makes the case that society’s major problems can be reduced, if not solved, with proper energy management, and why, emphatically, nuclear power is not part of the solution. When we get energy right, we’ll have the energy to get the rest of it right. About Power provided an historical context that sheds light on why society gets energy management so terribly wrong, and offers direction about correcting the flaws.
