In Revolutionary Power, Shalanda Baker arms those made most vulnerable by our current energy system with the tools they need to remake the system in the service of their humanity. She argues that people of color, poor people, and indigenous people must engage in the creation of the new energy system in order to upend the unequal power dynamics of the current system.
Revolutionary Power is a playbook for the energy transformation complete with a step-by-step analysis of the key energy policy areas that are ripe for intervention. Baker tells the stories of those who have been left behind in our current system and those who are working to be architects of a more just system. She draws from her experience as an energy-justice advocate, a lawyer, and a queer woman of color to inspire activists working to build our new energy system.
Climate change will force us to rethink the way we generate and distribute energy and regulate the system. But how much are we willing to change the system? This unique moment in history provides an unprecedented opening for a deeper transformation of the energy system, and thus, an opportunity to transform society. Revolutionary Power shows us how.
A series of dozens of videos on science and engineering concepts and applied issues, as well as dives into the history of science concepts and engineering breakthroughs. These videos are generally most useful at the high school level due to vocabulary and concepts, but many are accessible at middle and upper primary levels. These videos generally do not include critical analyses of the field and its impacts. The Crash Course Engineering series is one of dozens of Carash Course series by PBS Digital Media.
