High Energy Prices & Low-Income Americans: Reducing the Risk of Unintended Injury

Can an energy policy be economically sound, environmentally responsible, and humanely conceived?

This is the question at the heart of the Center of the American West's new report, High Energy Prices & Low-Income Americans: Reducing the Risk of Unintended Injury.

At a moment when the shift toward renewable energy sources and efficient technologies is poised to transform our national energy policy, this new report makes the case for ensuring that the promise of this brighter future is extended to all Americans.

With the Center of the American West's characteristic clear-eyed and colorful prose, this concise report examines what it means to craft a next-generation energy policy that balances our obligations to our shared planet, our fellow citizens, and our pocketbooks in a way that best serves our national interests.

This report is part of the Center's Energy Initiative, an ongoing project aimed at assessing our regional and national relationship with energy. It was made possible through the collaboration and financial support of Energy Outreach Colorado, a nonprofit organization that works to ensure that the state's low-income families can meet their home energy needs.
