A new report by the Center for Social Inclusion, Energy Democracy: Community Scale Green Energy Solutions, offers a unique approach to building a green energy economy that strengthens communities of color, while increasing the benefits of clean energy for the country at large.

The potential of renewable energy and small-scale electricity production has led us to conclude that community-owned or controlled renewable energy will offer diverse benefits to communities and the regions around them.

Energy Democracy: Community Scale Green Energy Solutions provides a blueprint for policy makers, business and community leaders, environmental justice advocates, and green entrepreneurs to explore a better way to secure our energy needs while building equity and wealth community by community.
