Qutoe from article. “The Marysville Energy Study makes i t clear that the SoftEnergy Path, implemented through a grassroots process ofcomprehensive local planning, offers an opportunity for thecitizens of that town to create a more sccurc, self-reliant andaffordable future. It is important to note, however, that todate Marysville’s energy future has largely remained a sub-ject for academic study. Even though the various studieshave becn coordinated by and comn~unicated to local citi-zens, therc is a real possibility that thc present gap betweentheory arid practice will remain unless the citizens of Marys-ville choosc to explore for themselves the many possibilitiesthe students and their faculty advisors have outlined anddeveloped.” (p. 252)
