This text reassesses the basic premises that have guided electricity development for more than a century, in the light of new understanding, pressures and opportunities. It investigates the changes already in progress and those that may yet follow, their interactions and their implications for policy. As the world pursues sustainable development, what might "sustainable electricity" mean, and how can it be achieved?

Revolutionary Change Ahead for Electric Power,
By
This review is from: Transforming Electricity : The Coming Generation of Change (Paperback)
Walt Patterson does an excellent job in his book Transforming Electricity. He provides the reader with a basic understanding of the evolution of the electric power industry in the context of history. He then identifies, clearly and understandably, the forces that are changing today's grid based electric power industry. Especially chilling is his look into the future down two very different but possible paths -- one that leads into a bleak world of power scarcity and unreliability and one that leads to a new and brighter alternative of distributed on-site power. Transforming Electricity could be considered the Rosetta Stone for a radically changing industry -- NextGen Power.
