It powers our tools, which helps us achieve our many individual and societal wants, needs, and goals. This comprehensive survey explores how electric power generation in the United States began, largely as a private endeavor, and quickly evolved into a race to capture and control its release to the people. The combination of wind, solar, and other renewable energy technologies, as proposed, enables people to restore their ability to independently generate electricity for home and business use.

In the 1970s he was at the first gathering of the American Wind Energy Association in Detroit, and joined Windworks, a well known developer of renewable energy technologies. Later, at the M. L. Jacobs Wind Electric Co. in Minneapolis, he managed a stand-alone, hybrid power system for his new 20-kilowatt wind generator. Now retired, he lives in Dearborn, Michigan.
