David and Goliath

By Petra Krumme

The book comprises 12 talks with community leaders and experts about renewable energy initiatives and climate justice in the USA. They show different approaches to become independent from large energy corporations. US communities of color, Indigenous, worker, and poor communities are disproportionally impacted by today's energy system and fossil fuel or nuclear infrastructure. Grassroots initiatives from New York and Kentucky to New Orleans and California change step by step energy policies from bottom up and fight for clean and affordable renewable energy and political influence - even up to the White House under the administration of Joe Biden.

But their opponents are strong. Powerful players in the fossil fuel industry and large-scale solutions for green energy slow down the locally organized energy production and distribution. But these would be necessary to counteract the climate change in a faster, more effective, and more sustainable way-as Germany and Denmark have shown in the 2000s.
