An Great Piece of History

This book chronicals the history of how the Environmental Defense Fund struggled against the giant utilities in Calfornia to get them to consider conservation and more efficient electrical devices instead of just building power plants in the 1960's and 1970's. It was called the Least Cost Integrated Planning movement. Some in the utility industry say Roe is a bit biased, but the book is an exciting read, and should be required reading for anyone interested in the history of electrical utlities in this country.
