Lovins' soft energy path would lead to decentralization of energy production and distribution. List at least two reasons each why this could be a good, or a bad, thing
What will be an ideal response?
Good: enhance individual control and freedom, pay true costs of service, lessen
possibility for gouging, etc.
Bad: loss of economies of scale, greater overall cost, needless duplication of equipment, etc.
