Whole Earth, Winter 2001
“A transformation of the Energy Web is under way. Local power has become less costly, more reliable, and more secure. […] ‘Micropowers’ like fuel cells, solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, wave, and biomass will replace aging central power plants and electric power will distribute itself closer to home.”
