Prioritizing People: Ethical Imperatives in Energy Research
The field of energy research has made remarkable strides, ushering in innovative technologies and policies that shape our future. But beneath the progress lies an ethical responsibility that cannot be overlooked: protecting the people who participate in this research.
Community-Owned Broadband – How Electric Co-ops Are Leveraging the Energy Transition to Bridge the Digital Divide
The digital divides hits rural and marginalized communities hardest. Big Broadband providers claim broadband doesn’t “pencil out” in these communities. Yet America’s electric co-ops are filling the void and bridging the digital divide, providing high-speed, world-class broadband in some of the countries most economically challenged communities.
