A 2016 report which recommends that Boulder’s Climate Commitment initiate dialogues concerning challenging questions that we face together, such as: How can we support job training that ensures that green jobs are fair and accessible to people in all social demographics and in all neighborhoods?; How can public investment in solar energy and energy efficiency benefit those most impacted by high utility rates?; How can we provide a fair transition for workers currently in fossil fuel-related industries and for under-employed populations?; How can we ensure that decision-making processes for climate and energy solutions are transparent, inclusive, and diverse?; How do we inspire all our neighborhoods and workplaces to feel invested in this transition?

A 2020 report which presents the case for a modern national power utility - a New Eskom. Unfortunately, in the public discourse around energy in South Africa, the word ‘Eskom' has become an expletive. To suggest that a reformed publicly utility can and must play a new and perhaps expanded role in shaping the country’s energy future as it transitions away from coal sounds ludicrous. But this is exactly what the situation demands, and this report explains why.
