CHAPTER SEVEN
An III Wind
The oddly titled Power to the People, by The Economist's Vijay Vaitheeswaran, is not at all a lefty political polemic but a fascinating analysis by a liberal economist of the energy industry and its future. There are several citations from the book in this chapter and the next.
