We also argue for early community participation and consent in project deployment. The transition to renewables DOES have tradeoffs. If we sweep those under the rug, we do a disservice to the communities that feel the impact. And can create enemies where we could have partners.

Last, we argue to mandate the transition. The IRA was mostly carrots, not sticks. While incentivizing the transition and building jobs is crucial, it HAS to be complemented with policies that limit extraction + emission -- forcing industry to transition.

I've attended a lot of community meetings and I've found that a) most of the people who come out to meetings are the most rabid NIMBYs and b) the vast majority of people do not want to attend any meetings at all. I question the value of enhanced outreach in these conditions.
