In this Our Changing Climate climate change video, I examine why your energy bills are so high and expensive, and why solar panels and solar power are a crucial tool to building a decentralized and democratized electricity system. Specifically, I examine how data centers and AI are causing a big influx in grid infrastructure work, and how the burden of that cost is now falling on the working class. Solar power represents a crucial intervention in the energy system, as it empowers everyday people with more flexibility, agency, and resilience.
