Robert Bullard:
Well, I think, when we talk about climate change, climate change really has to be looked at more than greenhouse gases and parts per million.
We have to talk about the inequities that exist in our society that make certain communities more vulnerable. Because of where they live, their location in terms of low-lying areas, areas that are prone to flooding, areas that are urban heat islands because of lack of trees, green canopy and all of those kinds of things.
And so it is really important that we plan for making sure that our climate action plans are resilient and will protect the most vulnerable. When we don't do that, we basically will plan for leaving certain populations behind, on the other side of the levee or in the flood zones, or in the heat islands, and, in this case, basically without power, and people whose lights go out first and who are the last one to get power back.
That is the inequity that we must address when we deal with climate plans and plans for dealing with just energy transition.
