What We're Working On pt. 2

Kate Richie sends us this update:
The argument I want to work on could function as an aff or d/a or cplan. I'm in the very very beginning process of researching but I want to write an argument about the social/political architecture of alternative energy projects. The thesis in a nutshell advocates for grassroots-community-embedded modular alternative energy projects w/ lots of buy-in from end users. Advantages are: democracy/civil society, better solvency than top-down approaches, a laundry list of environmental harms. Here is one article example:

Steven, M. Hoffman, and High-Pippert Angela. 2005. Community Energy: A Social Architecture for an Alternative Energy Future. Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society 25 (5):387-401.

More to come,
Kate Richey
