In Appalachia and across the country, people are reclaiming their power from electricity monopolies that weren’t serving their needs. In this issue, we share stories that exemplify the principle of energy democracy in action.
In part one of this two-part series, we examined problems with monopoly utilities and looked at how citizens are working to counter utilities’ outsized political influence. Find part one online at appvoices.org/imbalance-of-power.
