"In Energy in America: A Tour of Our Fossil Fuel Culture and
Beyond, Ingrid Kelley delivers a concise yet comprehensive
explanation of the key intersections of energy, the environment,
the economy, and sustainability. Kelley describes how our power is
generated and delivered, how to cut our still profligate use of it,
what renewable energy options are open to us, and - most important
to this audience - how planners can apply the lessons of
sustainability in their communities . . . the chapter titled
"Community Energy and Sustainability" is a goldmine for planners .
. . I plan to use Kelley's book this spring as a text in my
graduate school class on climate change. In fact, I think it should
be on every planner's shelf."--Planning Magazine
"The chapters on energy efficiency and conservation, and on
community energy and sustainability, are especially good and well
worth reading. Particularly important are the discussions of how
ordinary citizens or community groups can participate in
decision-making and affect energy policy as it might impact their
communities or regions." --Centre Daily Times, PA
