Oak Ridge National Lab Fellow Wants to Change Attitudes Toward Energy,
REA Editor with the Stories of the Month
The
energy problem is a people problem, says Benjamin Sovacool, and finding a
solution means changing peoples' conception of energy's central role in

was awarded a fellowship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory after defending
his doctoral dissertation at Virginia Tech, tells us why his theories on
distributed generation are relevant to the search for energy independence.

Sovacool, and consumers must gain a fuller understanding of the consequences
of their energy choices before renewable energy can compete with
conventional sources.
