Targeting Energy Justice: Race, Renewables, and Efficiency
Event Summary
Racial disparities in energy affordability and clean energy participation are major energy justice concerns, tied to the persistence of racial residential segregation. Increasing access to renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies can help.
Tony Reames dives into publicly available data to uncover spatial, racial, and socioeconomic disparities in rooftop solar adoption and residential energy efficiency. Join him for an exploration of the potential that exists in majority racial/ethnic minority communities as well as examples of targeted, community-based solutions.
