Peaker plants—energy generation sources or power plants that are used at times of extremely high demand—are some of the dirtiest components of power grid. They also are typically found around low-income communities and communities with a high percentage of BIPOC individuals. In other words, they’re typically built on the fenceline of Environmental Justice communities. Read on to learn more about the dirt on peaker plants and a solution to clean them up.
Preparing communities for the impacts of climate change is a necessary and pressing actions local, state, and federal governments must do.

This has created a cycle of pollution that is contaminating our air, land, and waterways. Read on to learn more about the issue and solutions to break this cycle in your own closet.
Environmental justice (EJ) is a buzzy phrase these days, and for good reason. Across the country and around the world, efforts to address environmental injustices are on the rise. However, to most effectively address these issues, we must expand our definition of EJ and our understanding of who is most impacted. Through a case study on Puerto Rico, this blog demonstrates how colonization and a lack of self-determination take away the possibility of truly achieving EJ.
The electrical grid that sends power to homes, businesses, and industrial sites is old. As a result, there are times when the grid is unable to meet our energy demand because of limitations in transmission or distribution infrastructure. This is a phenomenon known as grid congestion, and it’s going to become a major problem as we electrify everything if the grid isn’t upgraded soon.
