Due to a history of systemic racism, discrimination, and segregation, BIPOC and low-income communities are more likely to live in areas that are disaster-prone, with under-invested infrastructure, and closer to polluting energy facilities like power plants. Addressing these disparities requires a focus on energy justice , the principle that access to energy that is reliable, affordable, and clean is a basic right.

Ben Franklin said, by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. Perhaps more fitting in the context of climate change is a quote from the late Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cushing, who said, always plan ahead; it wasnt raining when Noah built the Ark. If were applying that to the nations power system in preparing for the impacts of climate change , you might say its starting to rain, and we havent even been to the hardware store.

I’ve seen some posts on the social media site formally known as Twitter arguing that the Seven County case is a win for an abundance-focused policy – in that it will facilitate more construction of infrastructure by eliminating or reducing environmental reviews. I think that statement is somewhat accurate in general. But I think it is much less true when it comes to clean energy.
