Critics Review
Reimagining our energy system offers the potential of a win-win-win future: low carbon energy, more resilient communities, vibrant local economies. What’s more, it’s possible and it’s already happening. In these pages, Howard Johns paints a spellbinding picture of the revolution happening around us, and the part you could play in it. Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition movement; We must invest in renewable energy now to avert the worst effects of climate change. Howard Johns’ Energy Revolution makes a compelling case for repowering our communities, putting an end to dirty power and the monopoly of the Big Six, and easing fuel poverty. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the energy industry and how we can transform it.
