Do you want lower utility bills?

Do you want healthier air in your home?

Do you want your community protected as data centers and water demands grow?

If you answered yes, this session is for you.

Energy justice is about making sure every community—especially those historically overburdened by pollution, high energy costs, and poor housing conditions—benefits from the transition to clean, affordable, and healthy energy systems. And with Summer and Fall 2026 bringing rising utility bills, increased water demand, rapid data‑center expansion, and growing indoor air concerns, understanding these issues has never been more urgent.

You’ll learn how today’s energy systems work, where inequities show up, and how utilities, technical partners, and community organizations influence a fair transition. We’ll also share a practical roadmap for community‑centered decarbonization that prioritizes health, affordability, and resilience.
