Energy Poverty and Potential Impacts to Other Critical Infrastructures - Powerful Paths to Progress

Explore the complex challenges and potential solutions surrounding energy poverty and its impacts on critical infrastructure in this 53-minute conference talk from BSidesLV. Delve into the evolution of energy delivery over the past two decades and examine current efforts to create an equitable, secure, resilient, affordable, and clean energy system. Analyze the intersection of historical injustice, climate threats, and international turmoil in the context of energy poverty. Investigate whether current approaches are sufficient and if it's too late to address these issues effectively. Consider strategies for better communication and gaining social buy-in from stakeholders who profit from the current system. Reflect on whether we are asking the right questions and if society has become desensitized to the consequences of inaction. Join speakers Emma M Stewart and David Batz as they navigate these critical topics and discuss powerful paths to progress in addressing energy poverty and its far-reaching implications.
