Session 19
This month, we’ll be shining a light on the injustices becoming apparent in the renewable energy transition, including scandalous financial mismanagement, discriminatory policies and practices, and harmful infrastructure.
From paying £ billions to halt turbines so as not to overload the grid, to communities having to challenge ill-conceived infrastructure to save their neighbourhoods, ecosystems, and economies. These injustices are in the way of equal access to cheap energy, present new threats to nature and the environment, and are fuelling right wing narratives that paints “green” as the enemy of the poor.
We’ll be talking about what we want, and what we can do, to ensure renewables don’t just become the fossil fuels of the future, but a transition that puts justice for people and the planet at it’s centre.
