Energy and Local Development

One of the more exciting and unpredictable aspects of the flowering green energy movement is that it is not implemented from above, but developing from below. This is not a movement that multi-national energy corporations (MNC) are trying to sell to consumers. This is consumers telling MNC's that they want green energy.

As you can see here and here, this is a movement that poeple are largely propelling on their local level. Eventually, the MNC's will figure out how to use these movements to maximize the investment of their shareholders. When that happens, renewable energy sources will be much less democratic. However, in this case, I can let it slide I suppose. If they were doing good things, I would be much less concerned about the lack of democratic governance in them.
