In several short essays with telling images Living Within Our Means helps us think through key ideas as we consider our energy choices. From the engineering marvels of the past which did not rely on fossil fuel to the claims of the ultimate energy just around the corner, from the end of a era awash with "cheap" energy to the kind of community planning necessary to live within our energy means, Enshayan brings his sensibilities as an engineer and as a city councilman to the conversations that need to take place in our communities and places of learning.
