Discover the ultimate guide to harnessing solar power and becoming energy-independent with my Off-Grid Solar Power Book.
Say goodbye to high bills and hello to sustainable living!
Discover an approach to our global energy challenge that rejects extreme ideologies.
Fossil fuels, far from being relics of the past, are a critical component of the energy transition in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world. Most people don't realize that energy demand is surging with the rise of big data and innovative tech-and it threatens our way of life and the USA's global standing. Instead of succumbing to polarized debate, The Radical Middle offers a playbook: one that champions thoughtful dialogue, acknowledges hard trade-offs, and calls for collaborative solutions.
Instantaneous decarbonization is incredibly disruptive, not to fossil fuel companies, but to the millions of citizens that rely on it. Contrary to popular belief, the answer is not to instantaneously decarbonize the energy industry-that would be more disruptive than most people think. To maintain standard of living and our global position as a nation, the energy industry needs to provide reliable, affordable energy while mitigating negative externalities like environmental issues and geopolitical skirmishes (or worse-outright war).
We need to thoughtfully work together on the energy transition. A Radical Middle Mindset, shifts us from judgment to curiosity so that we might engage in collaborative problem-solving.
In The Radical Middle you'll learn:
By encouraging productive dialogue, acknowledging trade-offs, and avoiding ideological rigidity, The Radical Middle offers a path to a more efficient and collaborative energy future.
Is the shift to renewable energy and digital devices going to free us from severe pollution, material shortages, and military tensions?
Rare metals are essential to electric vehicles, fighter jets, wind turbines, and solar panels, and also to our smartphones, computers, tablets, and other everyday connected objects. But consumers know very little about how they are mined and traded, or the environmental, economic, and geopolitical costs of this dependence.
This book reveals the dark side of the world that awaits us. It is an undercover tale of a technological odyssey that has promised much, and a look behind the scenes. Behind it all lurks China, which has captured the lion's share of the ownership and processing of rare metals we now can't do without. Drawing on six years of research across a dozen countries, this book shows that by breaking free of fossil fuels, we are in fact setting ourselves up for a new dependence--on rare metals that have become vital to our new ecological and digital society.

This new edition of Sean White's highly successful study guide has been updated throughout and reflects recent changes in the industry.
The transition to clean energy is moving far too slowly. Trapped by a century of fossil fuel investments and politicians that struggle to plan beyond the next election, the Big Grid that powers our modern world is outdated and in dire need of an upgrade. Freeing Energy offers a new and faster path towards a clean energy future-one that is more reliable, more equitable, and cheaper. Just like personal computers eclipsed mainframes, millions of solar rooftops and small battery systems are challenging every assumption about our century-old, centralized electric grid. These small-scale local energy systems are deeply disruptive because they are based on fast-moving technologies, not fuels. Driven by a new generation of innovators and genuinely competitive markets, smaller systems are faster to build, easier to finance, cleaner to operate, and they create far more jobs than large-scale projects.
Bill Nussey takes readers to mud huts in Africa, an off-grid farm in California, and a rural school in the mountains of Puerto Rico to uncover the underlying patterns of technology and the business model innovations of the local energy revolution. He shares stories and insights from some of the industry's brightest visionaries and from leaders of the most cutting-edge startups, bringing it all together into an actionable framework to help accelerate this transition.
Freeing Energy is a deeply researched, actionable guide for anyone that cares about the future of energy-from startups, policymakers, investors, and utility leaders to the families and communities that want cleaner, cheaper energy today.
The clean energy transition is the single biggest economic opportunity in history-bigger than the industrial revolution and bigger than the computing revolution. Nussey's broad coverage of systems large and small, as well as different geographies around the world, brings the whole situation into perfect perspective to drive both optimism and action.
--- Bill Gross, founder of Idealab and cleantech companies Heliogen, Energy Vault, and Carbon Capture
Nussey is spot on about the economic opportunity that comes with the shift to renewable energy, with a compelling angle about the role of local energy and action each of us can take. The clean energy transition is accelerating faster and further than most models predicted, and this book is a useful and timely read for anyone who wants to be part of it.
--- Jules Kortenhorst, CEO, RMI
Nussey has grasped a fundamental truth about the transition to a zero-carbon economy: energy is no longer about capturing and exploiting resources, it's about technology, speed, innovation, and agility.
--- Michael Liebreich, CEO of Liebreich Associations, and Founder and former CEO of Bloomberg New Energy Finance
Freeing Energy, an inspiring and practical guide for enacting an energy revolution is a must read for aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone that wants to understand how technologies and innovators are upending systems to improve the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable people.
--- Jacqueline Novogratz, CEO and Founder of Acumen, and author of Manifesto for a Moral Revolution
Freeing Energy is one of the most encouraging and inspiring books I've read in years. Nussey is comprehensive and convincing in his portrayal of the relentless technological innovation driving down costs for small-scale solar and battery solutions, and the ability of these systems to improve energy and social equity in the US and around the world.

Wind Energy for the Rest of Us straddles two--or more--worlds. The book is about wind energy. It's not just about small wind turbines. It's not just about large wind turbines. It's about the depth and breadth of wind energy, encompassing more than either type of wind turbine. It includes water-pumping windmills and sailing ships. It's a sprawling book, one minute discussing how to install small wind turbines safely, the next explaining how farmers in Indiana can earn millions by installing their own multimegawatt wind turbines. If it's a book hard to categorize, that suits its author, Paul Gipe, who likes to think he's hard to categorize after four decades at the frontiers of renewable energy. His book tells the story of modern wind energy in all its complexity and introduces a North American audience to the trailblazing electricity rebels who have launched a renewable energy revolution in Europe. The book debunks novel wind turbines their promoters claim will generate electricity too cheap to meter, and rebukes revisionist historians who falsely argue that it was the aerospace industry that delivered today's modern wind turbines. Gipe explains why new wind turbines are part of a silent revolution that is changing the way we use wind energy. This revolution doesn't garner headlines, but is making wind turbines more cost-effective in more places than ever before, lessening the need for new transmission lines, obviating the need for storage, and fueling rapid growth. Gipe refutes many common myths surrounding wind energy and argues persuasively that wind turbines are productive, effective, and environmentally sound. Gipe argues that wind energy is too important to be left to electric utilities and their subsidiaries alone. Wind energy is also for the rest of us, he says. It is our resource. We can develop it and we can own it--ourselves.
Written by renewable energy experts, this hands-on resource provides the technical information and easy-to-follow instructions you need to harness the wind and generate clean, safe, and reliable energy for on-site use.
Build Your Own Small Wind Power System shows you how to install a grid-connected or off-grid residential-scale setup.
