Written in response to this insightful and timely paper by @tomptak.bsky.social @ryanjstock.bsky.social @ankitkumar.bsky.social @sidsareen.bsky.social in @dialogueshg.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/2043...

I am so pleased I had the opportunity to provide this commentary in @dialogueshg.bsky.social about why I think that #energygeographies are so important to understanding the drivers and dynamics of #energytransitions and #energyjustice

When do we electrify, and when do we use hydrogen? See CSSN Scholar @christinahoicka.bsky.social and colleagues' paper that can tell us when hydrogen end-uses are appropriate, using a method that is applicable to other emerging technologies. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Amazing! Research by colleagues @uvicecs.bsky.social "This method offers an opportunity for rapid on-site fabrication of lightweight & deformable power sources on various substrates, including inflated elastic balloons ... & produces customizable irregular solar modules" rdcu.be/evkEP #energysky

I recently learned about Nova Scotia's green choice program for renewable procurement. Nice to learn of this partnership with a First Nation that trained 10 solar installers and is providing more security of supply at reduced costs. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I will be chairing Parallel 8.2 Geographies of Just Transitions Tuesday at 13:30 and sharing research about green hydrogen, comparing evidence to legitimization of end-uses on Wednesday Parallel 11.7 Scaling Emerging Low-Carbon Technologies. I look forward to connecting!

Hi! Can you add my handle to this list? Thanks so much!

Excited to connect at #ist25 @transitionsnetwork.bsky.social. I'll be presenting about Indigenous utilities & transformative #energyjustice on Tuesday at 15:30 Parallel 4.3, Justice and Equity in Urban Sustainability: Addressing Power Dynamics and Community Voices

Pleased to see our @ca.theconversation.com explainer about Indigenous electricity utilities republished in @theenergymix.com www.theenergymix.com/a-first-nati...

Our new explainer in @ca.theconversation.com about Indigenous Utilities #energysky #energyjustice #UNDRIP #DRIPA

What is an Indigenous Utility? We share 6 models of a First Nation Power Authority that emerged from an advocacy coalition in British Columbia in this explainer in ‪@ca.theconversation.com‬

theconversation.com/a-first-nati...

A First Nations power authority could transform electricity generation for Indigenous nations

As we write up the results of our study of the socioeconomic benefits of renewable energy to 14 First Nations in British Columbia, I'm looking forward to digging into this report (provided in the link⬇️).

No more crumbs from the corporate table. We need to scale-up community and public ownership.

Read & share the full report:

Love this free and accessible media training resource from the Narwhal @thenarwhal.ca thenarwhal.ca/interviewee-...

New Paper: What if only climate-leading states pursued net-zero? Our study finds 23 states could cut U.S. emissions 46% by 2050. Significant, but not enough. State-led decarbonization costs slightly more, shifts tech choices, and leans on electrification and DAC in CA & the Northeast. rdcu.be/em0sg

Glad to see our paper posted as a resource by @firstnationscen.bsky.social in Australia www.firstnationscleanenergy.org.au/research_and... #energysky

For those looking for policy & regulatory insights, Table 3 outlines 6 First Nation Power Authority models, their characteristics, examples, & the specific regulatory changes that would be minimum requirements to support the model. Figure 2 illustrates the transformative potential of each model.

Pleased to share a new open access publication that provides a narrative about the potential for transformative #energyjustice of Indigenous Nation controlled utilities developed from interviews with 14 Nations in British Columbia & deep regulatory analysis. #energysky

This paper is based in Adam Regier's undergraduate honours thesis in the @uvicgeography.bsky.social in @uvic.ca Social Sciences, funded by University of Victoria JCURA (Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Award). Bravo Adam!!

The pathways and mechanisms that 27 global cities are pursuing to support renewable electricity project development is documented. This is a first step in understanding how electrification policy could be designed to benefit people rather than reinforcing & replicating energy injustices.

I'm very pleased to share a new #openaccess paper from Re-Imagining Social Energy Transitions (ReSET) CoLaboratory lead authored by Adam Regier. We were lucky to co-author with Anna L. Berka. doi.org/10.1080/1354...

As we "electrify everything", how will large cities w/ dense energy demand source renewable electricity from surrounding regions, often sited nearby smaller communities? Who is involved in development of these projects? What are the #energyjustice implications?
