Mesa Sun Powers

Mesa Sun Powers examines the intersection of technology and culture by exploring the integration of solar energy within Pueblo communities. It addresses a crucial question: Can these communities adopt modern renewable energy while preserving their indigenous heritage and traditions? The book argues for culturally sensitive approaches, emphasizing community involvement and respect for traditional values.

One intriguing fact is the deep connection Pueblo communities have to their land, which influences their building practices and energy choices. Another is the communal decision-making processes that are integral to their societies.

The book uniquely centers the voices of Pueblo community members, avoiding imposed solutions and facilitating collaboration in energy development. It progresses from establishing the historical and cultural context to detailing the technological aspects of solar energy tailored for Pueblo architecture. It then examines economic impacts like job creation and energy independence, and finally addresses cultural implications, such as effects on spiritual beliefs.

The book uses both quantitative data on solar energy production and qualitative data from interviews to support its arguments.
