Polarization to Progress: Decarbonization Without Sacrificing Affordability or Reliability (S4:E10)
At a moment when energy conversations are more polarized than ever—and families are caught between rising bills and an uncertain grid—how do we actually move forward? In this final episode of Season 4, guest Julia DeTar of Adamantine Energy explores with Just Power host, Carolyn Parrs, why the biggest barrier to progress isn’t technology, but our inability to talk through our differences. Together, they unpack what it really takes to decarbonize while keeping energy affordable and reliable, why energy is fundamentally a justice issue, and how bridge building may be the key to navigating the energy transition now underway.
⭐ Highlights
- Why polarization—not a lack of solutions—is stalling the clean energy transition.
- The case for keeping affordability, reliability, and decarbonization moving together.
- What “all-of-the-above” energy really means in practice—and why it matters.
- How energy burden is turning affordability into a justice issue across the U.S.
- How deep listening and bridge building can unlock real progress.
⚡ Coming soon in Season 5: Leading Through Energy Affordability series.
Just Power brings together national data, community voices, and leadership perspectives to explore what’s driving affordability pressures — and what credible, people-centered responses look like.
