Executive summary -- Who should read this book and why? -- The sustainability challenge -- Four scenarios for the future -- Three examples of large-scale transformation efforts from American twentieth-century history -- Gradual change has caused the need for energy transformation -- Thoughts on planning and market economics -- Two levels of control-executive direction and program and project management -- Tools for program and project executive direction -- The standard tools of program and project management -- Change tools -- New tools for learning and analysis -- Financial tools -- Change happens in steps -- A step change model for energy -- Change in different sectors of the economy -- The transformation program -- Transforming transportation -- Transforming heating and utilities -- Transforming industrial processes -- Transforming the built environment -- Transforming agriculture -- Behavior and work life change -- The program-a very rough outline.

In the coming years, due to the peak in global oil production, financial and political power will gradually shift towards the individuals, companies and nations that are most successful at reducing dependence on non-renewable fuels and that are able to organise large scale transformation of business and society to the use of renewable fuels. So far, small scale tests of new energy systems have been undertaken, but, as asociety, our patterns of energy consumption are predominantly determined by structures and systems that we have built and refined over decades of technology development and investment. Restructuring the energy consuming and producing systems of society is a tremendous undertaking that we cannot opt out of. In order to succeed we will need large scale planned projects in combination with market driven change. By learning from past large scale industrial programs and transformations, such as the transformation of US industry to war production during World War II,andthe Apollo program, together with the latest practices in change management made by large corporations,this book provides experiences upon which the author defines a set of necessary tools and a planfor large scale, global, energy transformation. Despite the urgency of the matter and the large values that are at stake, the challenge also brings with it opportunities for future economic growth and large scale renewal.
