Open-Source Renewables: Coupling Resilience to Natural Disasters with Environmental Justice
Organization: Harvey Mudd College
Primary Investigator: Julie Medero
Research Track: Building Resilient Communities Through Preparedness
The renewables revolution has yet to meet the needs of those who struggle hardest to keep the lights on. Harvey Mudd College has joined forces with the CHERP-Locally Grown Power to design resilience centers that not only provide emergency power to frontline communities during future disasters but that also help to make clean power affordable for low-income households today.
