I'm grateful we are prosperous enough to afford both. Most in Maine's outage zones can't. This is just a reminder that 1) the #energytransition is not a single step to an #electrifyeverything world. 2) #energyequity - here and globally - is also a distant goal.

As we've been discussing all too long on @columbiaclimate #sustainwhat. Why #climatejustice has to fully integrate #energyequity. That leads right back to @jrockstrom's climate math and the need for real carbon space for Africa, particularly. https://revkin.substack.com/p/after-cop26-cheers-and-jeers-some-21-11-15

there's a new group for everyone interested in #energyJustice, #energyEquity, #energyDemocracy, #justTransition, #publicPower, and all things #cleanEnergy that intersect with #climateJustice!

it works like this:

1️⃣ follow @energyjustice to join the group and see all new posts shared with the group

2️⃣ tag @energyjustice to share posts with the entire group

3️⃣ meet others across the #Fediverse interested in building stronger movements for energy justice ✊🏽

Something really big is afoot in #energy and #water policy in the United States, with huge implications for #EnergyEquity and #ElectrifyEverything.

I think it's on the scale of what the idea of #MedicareForAll did in popular imagination.

The city of Los Angeles just voted to end electricity and water utility #shutoffs for almost 240,000 people. Let me explain why this is so powerful. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-16/l-a-to-end-water-and-power-shutoffs-for-low-income-customers-who-cant-pay
