“It seems to me that our problem has a lot less to do with the mechanics of solar power than the politics of human power—specifically whether there can be a shift in who wields it, a shift away from corporations and toward communities, which in turn depends on whether or not the great many people who are getting a rotten deal under our current system can build a determined and diverse enough social force to change the balance of power.” PeopleHumansEnoughProblemSeemsTurnsForceSocialCommunityDealsDependsBalanceCurrentsDeterminedCorporationsGreat MenDiverseMechanicRottenBalance Of PowerHuman PowerSolar Power Book:This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs.

They are like fish swimming about in a vast and sometimes inaccessible ocean; and what the historian catches will depend, partly on chance, but mainly on what part of the ocean he chooses to fish in and what tackle he chooses to use - these two factors being, of course, determined by the kind of fish he wants to catch.
