520 $aScientists tell us we need to cut carbon emissions to forestall effects of global warming. Reducing fossil fuel use is the key, and energy experts are hard at work devising solutions to change the nation's energy sector to one that is clean and sustainable for the future. But what is this energy sector we have and how did it come about? This book tells this story, emphasizing that energy use has always been based on cultural factors as well as technology. It relates how coal, oil and natural gas built the nation from its beginning and created today's consumer culture. It continues with the rise of the electric utility industry and its influence on American society. Finally, it explores the 1970s, when America woke to conservation and efficiency, and the renewable energy industries were born. It concludes with a look at the future possibilities for community energy planning and current trends in sustainable energy policy.--From publisher description.
