Argues that SB 1221's neighborhood decarbonization pilot program risks perpetuating energy inequity unless the CPUC adopts transparent, community-driven zone selection that prioritizes high-burden communities over well-resourced coastal neighborhoods.
Read Op-Ed ↗Co-authored with RAND colleague Aaron Clark-Ginsberg. Examines California's "petro-state" contradiction and proposes community-inclusive governance reforms for oil and gas operations, citing disproportionate health impacts on Hispanic and Black communities near wells.
