Fossil
fuels are bad for us, both to our climate and to our health. These
impacts are felt most acutely in fenceline communities immediately
adjacent to fossil fuel power plants, which also tend to be
lower-income, communities of color. Folks from these communities are
banding together to present a new energy future that leans into
renewables and battery storage in order to shut down the gas power
plants that pollute their neighborhoods and harm their families.

Julia Dowell of the Sierra
Club
and Heena Singh of California
Environmental Justice Alliance
join us on the show to talk about their work leading Regenerate California
where they apply pressure on local and state agencies to retire gas
plants in environmental justice communities. They share their
advocacy on how responsible utility scale energy infrastructure (like
offshore wind and transmission) can enable gas plant retirements.
