Bill Resnick talks to Al Weinrub, the Coordinator of the California Alliance for Community Energy. The CACE’s ambitious goal is no less than demonstrating to this country and the world how to stop global warming by reconstructing the energy system, by building out networks of local public, democratically run projects that combine many small and neighborhood solar and wind installations with a few utility-scale sun and wind farms. Over 20 projects, some by cities and some by counties in California, have already taken over their electricity systems. This is all explained on the CACE website and in Al Weinrub’s books: Energy Democracy, Community Power: Decentralized Renewable Energy in California.
