California leads the way in finding sustainable energy supplies to combat climate change, but Dan Kammen's experience in the developing world makes it clear that energy solutions, like politics, must be local. Working with state regulators, Kammen's Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at UC Berkeley has mapped a rigorous step-by-step pathway for California to reach its emission goals. His research has revealed the need for a dramatic shift to electricity and away from both fossil and biofuels. At the same time, however, his lab has looked at the future needs of the 1.3 billion people worldwide - 15 percent of the planet's population - who still lack electricity. Their growing demand will raise, not lower, global temperatures. Focusing on local solutions to lessen the emissions of planet-warming fossil fuels, his group is leading a field test to measure the environmental benefits and energy savings of widespread use of cleaner, more efficient cook stoves.
