DEC Energy Seminar: Vulnerable Systems
In this second session of the "Critical Infrastructure in a Climate Changing World" series, we will look at climate and infrastructure through a policy lens.
Event detailsDEC Energy Seminar: Vulnerable Systems
Date: January 26
Time: 12:15 p.m.
Climate change is impacting our planet in ways that are becoming ever more apparent. The infrastructure that undergirds modern life — from roads and ports to energy generation installations and transmission lines — is one area increasingly at risk from climate-fueled flooding, fires, extreme heat, and sea level rise. Energy infrastructure is also key to helping us avert the worst effects of a warming planet as we transition to more affordable, sustainable, just, and reliable energy systems. The Dartmouth Energy Collaborative invites you to join us for our winter lunchtime seminar series as we explore the challenges and possibilities of building a more just and resilient infrastructure system that powers the energy transition.
In the second session of our "Critical Infrastructure in a Climate Changing World" series, Julio Friedmann, Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), and Abby Hopper '93, CEO and President of the Solar Energy Industries Assocation, will look at climate and infrastructure through a policy lens. What policies have contributed to the urgency of our climate moment? What policies do we need to put in place to help transition to a sustainable energy future and address the challeneges already being created by climate change?

Wind Country: Driving Growth and Equity in West Virginia
This presentation explores the following topics through a case study of West Virginia:
• How can renewable energy investment revitalize declining Appalachian coal communities?
• How can power producers facilitate improved and more equitable economic and health outcomes?
• Is a transition from coal to renewables economically, politically, and socially viable?

Our panel includes a banker from Citi’s automotive investment banking, an ex-strategy officer at Ford who is now a senior banker with Guggenheim, and a Strategic Sourcing Manager at Zoox, who will bring a finance perspective from a growth-stage company.
DEC Energy Seminar: Interest Groups and the Battle Over Clean Energy and Climate
Join the Revers Center for Energy and the Dartmouth Energy Collaborative for a discussion with UC Santa Barbara Professor Leah Stokes discusses the influence of interest groups on American clean energy and climate policy.
Event detailsDEC Energy Seminar: Interest Groups and the Battle Over Clean Energy and Climate
Date: Tuesday, October 27
Time: 12:15 p.m. - 1:15 p.m.
In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over a thirty-year time frame, Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis. She tells the political history of our energy institutions, explaining how fossil fuel companies and electric utilities have promoted climate denial and delay. Stokes further explains the limits of policy feedback theory, showing the ways that interest groups drive retrenchment through lobbying, public opinion, political parties and the courts. More than a history of renewable energy policy in modern America, Short Circuiting Policy offers a bold new argument about how the policy process works, and why seeming victories can turn into losses when the opposition has enough resources to roll back laws.
