My first of hopefully many articles with my @CSU_Urban @CSULevinCollege colleague @GraffMichelle is now #OnlineFirst at Cities: "Housing costs are not a monolith: The association between neighborhood energy burdens and eviction filing rates" sciencedirect.com/science/ar… 1/5

The cycle of #poverty: can't afford AC, suffer health impact from #heatwave, need costly medical attention.
Record heat waves illuminate plight of poorest Americans who suffer without air conditioning buff.ly/3KgeLLV by @BedaynJesse via @AP CC @kristie_ebi @GraffMichelle
Thrilled that @BedaynJesse at @AP, once again, highlights households’ ongoing and growing need for financial assistance to pay energy bills.
See below 👇🏻
As climate change ratchets up temperatures across the U.S., nearly 30 million Americans are grappling with enduring perilous heat. To keep their air conditioning on, many cull their grocery lists or skip medical care. apnews.com/article/heat-wave…
Heat hurts, and it kills. We need to do more.
I was happy to speak to @BedaynJesse with @AP highlighting the obstacles facing those that require financial assistance to pay their energy bills. 👇🏻
As climate change fans hotter and longer heat waves, breaking record temperatures and leaving dozens dead, the poorest Americans suffer the hottest days with the fewest defenses. apnews.com/article/heat-wave…

The latest @IPCC_CH 6th Asst Synthesis Report comes out tomorrow; but after three decades of these assessments, it's already clear that --
Climate is changing
Humans are responsible
The impacts are serious
We aren't doing enough to prevent them
And our future is in our hands.

Thank you to @rebleber for including me in this article that, importantly, highlights:
“Energy costs are rising, and the programs meant to help aren’t keeping the same pace.”
Families are already “very stressed and stretched” by the highest natural gas prices we’ve seen since 2008 vox.com/science-and-health/2…

As we enter winter 🥶, this is a reminder that utility disconnection protections are rife with administrative burdens, or obstacles, that make it more difficult for vulnerable households to keep their power on as temperatures drop, heating demands rise, and related bills rise.

New paper 🔥 We find hot weather leads to low-income households to be disconnected two to three months later. Evidence that higher energy bills leads to this delayed financial distress nature.com/articles/s41560-0…

Academic moms - trying to quantify how Covid impacted your research productivity? Our newest paper can help. Check out this 🧵 (@leefay_low @AndrewJBaillie @syd_health @Momademia)

I don't know who needs to see this today, but I remember feeling so demoralized on Fridays because I knew the weekend would be as much - if not more - work because I was taking care of tiny humans who never slept. I see you. And you will get weekends back. @Momademia
Dr. Michelle Graff retweeted
In this new open access article, we find that the majority of households that face conditions of energy poverty/insecurity, tend to do so on a reoccurring basis. We must think deeply about preventative solutions, debt asst, and implications of dis/reconnection fees, plus more
This work, with @CarleySanya @GraffMichelle @MemmottTrevor, continues our efforts to document and understand household energy insecurity among low-income households in the United States.

Lots of interest recently in "energy communities." In this new article published in @SciReports, me, @CarleySanya, and @DavidKonisky rank the most exposed and sensitive US fossil fuel counties.

Uninterrupted and affordable access to utilities, electricity in particular, is crucial for public health. Thanks to Charlie Harak & Sam Whillans of @NCLC4consumers, @NRDC, @YaleLawSch for the collaboration!
