"Today, the most vital way to take control of our lives and feel 'powerful' is to take responsibility for our energy footprint. The Solar Living Sourcebook has been and continues to be the bible for everyone wanting to get off carbon and on the solar grid. It is scrupulously honest, technically flawless, and steeped in experience and practical wisdom. There is nothing like it in the word." —Paul Hawken
