Nation and the World must move forward with development of a range of energy sources and savings, all with attendant environmental problems.  Solving these problems, and those remaining from past energy-related activities, will require iteration, inclusion, and collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including U.S., State and local governmental agencies, Tribal Nations, scientists, environmentalists, public policy makers, and the general public.

From the reviews:

“A book of case studies that examines the process of community engagement and that investigates how stakeholders have affected decision and policy making on questions of large-scale environmental management. … chapters are appropriate for introducing concepts and lessons related to stakeholder participation. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, professionals, and general readers.” (S. A. Batterman, Choice, Vol. 49 (9), May, 2012)
