Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of an initiative to support Multifamily Affordable Housing (MFAH) providers in their efforts to accelerate deployment of community solar, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) convened a group of MFAH providers from across the United States to understand and address barriers. DOE and project partners the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Urban Ingenuity, and Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future facilitated peer exchange, provided technical assistance, and developed resources to support the sector more broadly. During this one-hour webinar NREL, Urban Ingenuity, and SAHF introduced these resources. The webinar was attended by MFAH providers, state and local agencies, and others working to advance equitable access to solar for residents of affordable housing.

Download or read book Energy Democracy written by Denise Fairchild and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The near-unanimous consensus among climate scientists is that the massive burning of gas, oil, and coal is having cataclysmic impacts on our atmosphere and climate. These climate and environmental impacts are particularly magnified and debilitating for low-income communities and communities of color. Energy democracy tenders a response and joins the environmental and climate movement with broader movements for social and economic change in this country and around the world. Energy Democracy brings together racial, cultural, and generational perspectives to show what an alternative, democratized energy future can look like. The book will inspire others to take up the struggle to build the energy democracy movement.

Download or read book Energy Justice and Energy Law written by Iñigo del Guayo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy justice has emerged over the last decade as a matter of vital concern in energy law, which can be seen in the attention directed to energy poverty, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. There are energy justice concerns in areas of law as diverse as human rights, consumer protection, international law and trade, and in many forms of regional and national energy law and regulation. This edited collection explores in detail at four kinds of energy justice. The first, distributive justice, relates to the equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of energy activities, which is challenged by the existence of people suffering from energy poverty. Secondly, procedural (or participation) justice consists of the right of all communities to participate in decision-making regarding energy projects and policies that affect them. This dimension of energy justice often includes procedural rights to information and access to courts. Under the concept of reparation (or restorative) justice, the book looks at even-handed enforcement of energy statutes and regulations, as well as access to remedies when legal rights are violated. Finally, the collection addresses social justice, with the recognition that energy injustice cannot be separated from other social ills, such as poverty and subordination based on race, gender, or indigeneity. These issues feed into a wider conversation about how we achieve a 'just' energy transition, as the world confronts the urgent challenges of climate change.

Download or read book Decarbonizing Austin written by Olivia Corless and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The clean energy transition is underway in most U.S. cities and solar energy plays a significant role in it. Rooftop solar is a viable way for many homeowners to not only participate in the transition away from fossil fuels, but also reap many other benefits that clean energy can offer, including lower utility bills, cleaner air and water, and the creation of green jobs. Although the price of solar energy systems has steadily fallen over the past decade, installing solar panels is still out of the question for many Americans. There are significant barriers to adoption, particularly for low-to-moderate-income (LMI) households, renters, and communities of color. Because of this, solar energy adoption has been highly inequitable and many segments of the population have been excluded from the clean energy transition. Fortunately, there are solutions grounded in energy justice that many cities, utility companies, and other organizations are implementing around the U.S. to lower these barriers and make access to solar energy more equitable, known as solar justice policies (SJ policies). Specifically, I examine four SJ policies put forth by utilities and local governments in California, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Austin, Texas presents an interesting case to analyze the extent of energy justice in solar deployment for many reasons. Firstly, like most cities in the U.S., Austin has a long history of segregation and inequality. The city has begun to reckon with this past with a new emphasis on equity in city departments and policies. Secondly, the city has recently put forth new strategies to combat climate change and increase renewable energy deployment through its Climate Equity Plan and Austin Energy’s Resource Generation Plan. It would be a fair assumption that these new, more aggressive renewable deployment policies that coincide with a city-wide focus on equity would produce successful SJ policies for the city’s LMI residents and communities of color. However, the extent to which solar deployment policies pursue energy justice has yet to be analyzed. Through the comparison of four SJ policies around the U.S. with Austin’s solar strategy, opportunities for improvement are illuminated

Book excerpt: • New York Times bestseller • The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world “At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming “There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” —David Roberts, Vox “This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.” —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth’s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.
