Podcast: Solutions Sidebar – Bringing Energy Insecurity to Light with researcher Diana Hernández
New government figures find that even before the Iran war, one in three households faced some form of energy insecurity. Not only did people have trouble paying their heating and cooling bills, but a separate study found the problem affected their mental health. Advocates like Diana Hernández are trying to bring energy insecurity to light and help those in need. Interview guest: Co-author of Powerless and Columbia University researcher Dr. Diana Hernández is the founding principal investigator of the Energy Equity, Housing and Health Program and the co-director of the Energy Opportunity Lab (https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/initiatives/energy-opportunity-lab/) at the Center on Global Energy Policy.
