Newsweek magazine book review

I just read a quote from a book review on Newsweek magazine website, that decribes exactly what I think:

Rosen proposes that Washington fund half a dozen off-grid developments. Here’s his pitch to Energy Secretary Steven Chu: “Each would have a few hundred inhabitants and each would be limited to using, for example, only 10 percent of the energy used per capita in the rest of the country. The speed and enthusiasm with which these places would be taken up would determine, once and for all, the demand for this lifestyle. And if the experiment proved that the technology works, then this once-maverick section of American society would be widely imitated by mainstream society because my hunch is that deep down millions feel the same way”
