'Let's write a new chapter in our nation's energy future that guides renewable energy into an environmentally compatible form, in contrast to the climate and biodiversity wreckage left behind by the dying behemoths of the fossil fuel industry.'
The Biden administration inherits the interconnected climate and biodiversity crises from predecessors of both political parties, and now is embarking on an ambitious, multi-faceted campaign to find solutions.
However, if progress toward a renewable energy future is a stampede rather than a well-planned journey, then we may be simply trading one set of problems for another, squandering a generational opportunity to make the world a better, more sustainable place. Urban areas offer a prime opportunity to be a major focus for renewable-energy development. Siting rooftop solar and photovoltaic parking lot canopies in densely developed residential neighborhoods and suburban subdivisions—and commercial and industrial zones—would focus energy production in the"load centers" where it is being used. This makes tremendous sense from an environmental standpoint.
It would be a simple thing to redirect federal subsidies such that marginalized communities could receive free solar installations at the home, business and community scales, allowing these communities to own their sources of renewable power. This would reduce energy bills, providing a leg up toward prosperity for these communities and a victory for the climate, all while avoiding the habitat impacts of industrial-scale production, a major win for biodiversity as well.
