A propos de cet article

Paperback. A global energy war is underway. It is man versus nature, fossil fuel versus clean energy, the haves versus the have-nots, and, fundamentally, an extractive economy versus a regenerative economy. The near-unanimous consensus amongclimate scientists is that the massive burning of gas, oil, and coal is having a cataclysmic impact on our atmosphere andclimate, and depleting earth's natural resources, including its land, food, fresh water and biodiversity. These climate and environmental impacts are particularly magnified and debilitating for low-income communities and communities ofcolor that live closest to toxic sites, are disproportionately impacted by high incidences of asthma, cancer and rates ofmorbidity and mortality, and lack the financial resources to build resilience to climate change. Energy democracy tenders a response and joins the environmental and climate movements with broader movements for social and economic change. Energy democracy is a way to frame the international struggle of working people, low income communities, and communities of color to take control of energy resources from the energy establishment and use those resources to empower their communities-literally providing energy, economically, and politically. Energy democracy is more important than ever as climate and social justice advocates confront a shocking political reality in the U.S. This volume brings together racial, cultural, and generational perspectives. This diversity is bound together by a common operating frame: that the global fight to save the planet-to conserve and restore our natural resources to belife-sustaining-must fully engage community residents and must change the larger economy to be sustainable,democratic, and just. The contributors offer their perspectives and approaches to climate and clean energy from rural Mississippi, to the South Bronx, to Californian immigrant and refugee communities, to urban and semi-ruralcommunities in the Northeast. Taken together, the contributions in this book show what an alternative, democratized energy future can look like, and will inspire others to take up the struggle to build the energy democracy movement. This urgent book features cutting edge, diverse thinkers in the energy democracy movement. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
