To bring together different strands of research into a single story that emphasizes arguments and themes over data, focusing on the vulnerabilities of communities affected by the energy transition.
A New (Qualified) Opportunity (Zone) for Clean Energy Projects?, with Andy Rankin and Dave McGimpsey
Q: Can you explain the changes made by the OB3 in relation to the QOZ program?

The Moment for Moving Forward, with Tisha Schuller
Q: What is the myth Tisha discusses in her book?
The myth is the belief that the energy transition would be easy and inevitable, implying that with political will, we could achieve a new energy system almost overnight.

Q: Can you talk about climate change, and what do you think have been some of the problems with how we've tackled this issue?
