What happens to a dream deferred?

Visions for an integrated renewable energy system in the Mediterranean region.

Sharlissa Moore, Ph.D. Candidate, Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology, Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes, Arizona State University

This talk examines the social and political dynamics of multi-national energy systems and develops a multi-scalar framework for analyzing energy justice within them, drawing on the case study of the Desertec vision to build numerous solar power plants in the Sahara desert and export the power to Europe and North African responses to the idea of regional energy integration and local siting issues. This talk is part of a larger series, Energy and Society: Communities of Energy in Transition.
