A [recent article by Nafeez Ahmed](https://insurge.net/3-ways-clean-energy-will-make-big-oil-extinct-in-12-to-32-years-without-subsidies) describes how the rapid growth of renewable energy (RE) is disrupting and transforming the global energy system. The drivers of this rapid transition are technological evolution, rapidly improving RE economics as market size grows, and campaigns for environmental protection, especially mitigating global climate change. A driver of _community-owned_ RE is initiatives to build a society that is more socially just and democratic.
