Description (excerpt):

In “Clean Energy Neoliberalism: Climate, Tax Policy, and Racial Justice,” co-authors Lew Daly and Sylvia Chi explain how energy tax credits embody a neoliberal approach to climate policy that continues to rely heavily on private incentives and market choices to drive the energy transition. They discuss how this could not only privatize the clean energy future, but also squander a once-in-a-generation opportunity for remedying historic harms and chronic underinvestment in communities of color.
