Energy Transformation! That’s what the German policy of Energiewende is all about—a bold move toward an all-renewable, nonnuclear future. It is a way to make energy production more democratic through distributed generation on the roof tops of residents. Germany took the first hard steps 20 years ago; now it is our turn. Find out about how it works, why it works, and what it holds for the future—both theirs and ours.
