CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
"Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Lights Out examines our "third-world" transmission grid, one that is in desperate need of upgrading; offers an honest assessment of how to deal with electricity's contribution to global warming; and addresses numerous hot-button economic, environmental, and political issues related to the current debate - from free markets versus regulation to energy independence versus foreign imports. Beyond just uncovering and illuminating the problems, however, Lights Out also presents a comprehensive collection of technical solutions and regulatory reforms from both the production and demand sides of the equation - a framework for rethinking, rebuilding, and enhancing our entire electricity production and delivery infrastructure."--BOOK JACKET.
