This book, consisting of 13 chapters, charts the progress made in renewable energy in recent years and outlines renewable energy's prospects.

Additional areas addressed include renewable energy's potential (discussing rebuilding, industry role, renewable energy for the farm and rural poor, and issues related to transportation and electricity); institutions for the transition to renewable energy (focusing on a new research and development agenda, renewable energy technology--vernacular technology, and seed money for the transition to renewable energy); and shapes of a renewable society (considering new landscapes, renewable jobs, rebalancing city and country, rising regional/local self-reliance, shifting power, and new balances between rich/poor, between nations, and between generations).
