{"product_id":"energy-democracy-craig-morris-9783319811451","title":"Energy Democracy: Germany's Energiewende to Renewables","description":"This book outlines how Germans convinced their politicians to pass laws allowing citizens to make their own energy, even when it hurt utility companies to do so. It traces the origins of the Energiewende movement in Germany from the Power Rebels of Schau to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's shutdown of eight nuclear power plants following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. The authors explore how, by taking ownership of energy efficiency at a local level, community groups are key actors in the bottom-up fight against climate change. Individually, citizens might install solar panels on their roofs, but citizen groups can do much more: community wind farms, local heat supply, walkable cities and more. This book offers evidence that the transition to renewables is a one-time opportunity to strengthen communities and democratize the energy sector - in Germany and around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Morris, Arne Jungjohann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319811452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319811451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.94d","brand":"Craig Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073598025983,"sku":"9783319811451","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1718dd65-e1ba-49f8-8219-ab8575260640.jpg?v=1685448770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/energy-democracy-craig-morris-9783319811451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
