Real and perceived barriers to building electrification, renewable generation, and advanced energy storage paint the outline to the next hit novel chronicling a dystopian future.  Imagine a world not so far off, perhaps only a few generations, where we have electrified communities, resilient to the escalating climate crisis. Who are they and will conflict emerge between those who have reliable access to resources and those who do not?

The goal is simple—to discuss how to keep this potential eventuality squarely in the fiction section of our collective future. Guests discuss how policy, energy code and programs intersect with building electrification and equitable access to resources and as well as barriers, community messaging and recommended actions to accelerate equitable change.

Recorded live on September 21st, 2022 at the California Climate and Energy Collaborative (CCEC) Forum in San Diego, California.  The conversation picks up immediately following the hugely successful “Building Electrification: Dystopian Novel or an Opportunity for Equitable Action?” panel.
