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 healthier financially when they emit more pollution, and conservation reduces their earnings. On the supply side, big, very expensive power lines are being built to accommodate renewable energy development. While acknowledging a host of existential threats, About Power makes the case that society's major problems can be reduced, if not solved, with proper management of energy resources.
When society gets energy right, the rest will be easier because we'll have the energy. Correcting these flaws will provide society with financial and energy resources, and a structural framework, to redress inequities while significantly reducing pollution. About Power provides an historical context that sheds light on why society gets energy management so terribly wrong and offers direction about correcting the flaws.
