520    This book presents essential information for the 
       development of a comprehensive sustainable energy policy. 
       It examines the diverse types of energy, their resource 
       abundance and the material needs to develop and use them, 
       and how communities and cities can better control their 
       own destinies by locally managing energy use and 
       generation. This approach does not suggest the undoing of 
       existing infrastructures and energy providers, but rather 
       a cooperative transition from national-regional energy 
       management to a more local-centered system. The 
       information is the foundation for eight specific 
       legislative initiatives necessary for a national 
       comprehensive sustainable policy that can both facilitate 
       and drive the process of evolution from a carbon-energy 
       economy to a sustainable renewable energy future.
