INESC: The path to energy self-sufficiency starts next door
1999. We live in an ecologically sustainable nation. Environment and humans live in perfect harmony, there is zero-tolerance pollution control and energy-efficient communities abound, with the active participation of citizens in decentralised solutions for energy production. Yes, you read that right: 1999. The visionary idea is by the writer Ernest Callenbach, in his novel Ecotopia, published in 1975.
