EmPOWERing Global Change with Life Cycle Assessment: A Geographical Textured Approach
![](https://energy.ucdavis.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022_600x440_SarahJordaan.jpg)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a cradle-to-grave quantitative tool that examines environmental burdens of products and processes from materials extraction through waste disposal. LCA is increasingly used in policy to reveal unintended consequences associated with decisions about energy products and their supply chains yet is often criticized for using uncertain inputs. While LCAs of electricity […]
Urban Energy Democracy: Investigating the Historical-Geographies of Atlanta’s Electricity Politics
