That changed with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, which restructured the industry. The government expanded public ownership, famously through the Tennessee Valley Authority, and promoted a new kind of utility: the rural electric cooperative that brought light and power to millions in the countryside. Since then, public and cooperative utilities have persisted as an alternative to shareholder control. \u003cem\u003eDemocracy in Power\u003c\/em\u003e traces the rise of publicly governed utilities in the twentieth-century electrification of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSandeep Vaheesan shows that the path to accountability in America's power sector was beset by bureaucratic challenges and fierce private resistance. Through a detailed and critical examination of this evolution, Vaheesan offers a blueprint for a publicly led and managed path to decarbonisation. \u003cem\u003eDemocracy in Power\u003c\/em\u003e is at once an essential history, a deeply relevant accounting of successes and failures, and a guide on how to avoid repeating past mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46796215976172,"sku":"9780226836386","price":144.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20592143482268.jpg?v=1757085153"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/sandeep-vaheesan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
