SolarTimes editor Sandy LeonVest interviews John Farrell of the Institute for Local Self Reliance. In this extraordinary and enlightening conversation, John Farrell talks about the democratization of energy and how communities can organize to take control of their own "energy futures." He gives real life examples of how communities really can take ownership of the "green power revolution" at the local level and get out from under the 'corporate thumb.
