A conference explores energy justice, and emerging issue in the transition to renewable energy sources.
Participants in the conference “Energy Justice: Prioritizing Equity in the Greener Grid,” organized by the Center for Energy and Environmental Law at the UConn School of Law on April 16, 2021.
The rapid acceleration of climate change will soon force states to collaborate to combat it, Katie Dykes, commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, told a large virtual audience at a UConn Law conference on April 16, 2021.
“We can no longer just put on our blinders and say we don’t care what’s happening outside of Connecticut,” Dykes said. “The recent winter storms and power grid failures in Texas illustrate that.”
