One in three American households faces some sort of energy insecurity, such as a challenge affording their energy bills or trouble keeping their home a healthy temperature.
Michael Dorsey (Co-Founding Partner, IberSun Solar), Tony Reames (Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and director of the Urban Energy Justice Lab), and Devra Wang (Program Director at the Heising-Simons Foundation)—with moderator Dan Kammen (Professor, UC Berkeley)—discussed these challenges and potential solutions.

In this episode of Resources Radio—the fourth in their ongoing “Big Decisions” spin-off series—guest host and chair of the RFF Board of Directors Sue Tierney talks with Paula Glover, who is currently the president and CEO of the American Association of Blacks in Energy and will in January become president of the Alliance to Save Energy.
Glover contends that the energy sector needs to not only make it easier for Black and Hispanic Americans to afford their electricity bills, but also provide more opportunities to minority business owners and young professionals.
