LA100 Equity Strategies. Chapter 2: Procedural Justice

The LA100 Equity Strategies project synthesizes community guidance with robust research, modeling, and analysis to identify strategy options that can increase equitable outcomes in Los Angeles' clean energy transition. Grounded in the analysis of past and ongoing energy inequities and engagement with underserved communities, the project presents community-guided and community-tailored strategies that aim to operationalize recognition and procedural justice. This chapter focuses on procedural justice, examining priorities identified during the community engagement portion of the LA100 Equity Strategies project. This process, and our approach to partnering with community-based organizations (CBOs) and the communities they serve, was developed from the baseline analysis in Chapter 1, which centers on recognition justice, examining past and current inequities in LA. Recognition, procedural, and distributional justice are the three tenets of energy justice around which the LA100 Equity Strategies project is organized. Procedural justice prioritizes fair, equitable, and inclusive participation in the decision-making process. This tenet's practical application entails who is invited and able to participate, whose voices are considered as decisions are made, the co-development of procedures to inform this deliberative process, and who has access to formal measures of regulation and accountability. Engaging with Angelenos to examine the causes of inequities and identify impact areas and priorities that center community experiences, values, and goals represents a first step in developing energy equity strategies for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to achieve distributional justice - the just and equitable distribution of energy benefits and burdens in LA's energy transition. Equity, as community members insisted, is about making - and following through with - a commitment to prioritize historically underserved and overburdened communities. Community engagement is a principal method for operationalizing this commitment, guiding our analytic approach and potential equity strategies. Using procedural justice as an analytical tool, this chapter presents the LA100 Equity Strategies approach to community engagement from 2021 to 2023 and the results of this process in relation to community-identified barriers and burdens impacting procedural justice outcomes. We analyze the procedural elements of reaching the equity goals Angelenos set to inform future LADWP decision-making and program development.

Low-energy interband transition in the infrared response of the correlated metal SrVO 3 in the ultraclean limit

We studied the low-energy electronic response of the prototypical correlated metal SrVO 3 in the ultraclean and disordered limit using infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory calculations (DFT+DMFT). A strong optical excitation at 70 meV is observed in the optical response of the ultraclean samples but is hidden by the low-energy Drude-like response from intraband excitations in the more disordered samples. DFT+DMFT calculations reveal that this optical excitation originates from interband transitions between the bands split by orbital off-diagonal hopping, which has often been ignored in cubic systems, such as SrVO 3 . A memory function analysis of the optical data shows that this interband transition can lead to deviations of optical self-energy from the expected Fermi-liquid behavior. Our findings demonstrate that analysis schemes employed to extract many-body effects from optical spectra may be oversimplified to study the true electronic ground state and that improvements in material quality can guide efforts to refine theoretical approaches.

Intermountain West Energy Sustainability & Transitions Initiative: CO 2 Transport and Geologic Storage Modeling Results

This report and its associated Excel spreadsheet file provide the results of technoeconomic modeling of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) pipeline transport modeling, CO 2 storage in deep saline subsurface formations, and CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This report provides the methodology, describes the models and summarizes results for the three aspects of the analysis done for the Intermountain West Energy Sustainability and Transition (I-WEST) Initiative.

Under-capacitated and over-powered? Rural austerity and asymmetrical negotiating relationships in US wind energy development

Though rural local governments are central actors in renewable energy development, local governments in the United States (US) remain systematically under-funded. This paper considers what the manifestations of austerity in local governments broadly and rural localities specifically mean for renewable energy development and for energy transitions. Drawing on a survey of 262 elected county officials with experience with wind energy in eight US states, this paper asks how local officials understand the impacts of wind development, how local governments are involved in wind energy negotiations, how the resources and expertise needed to navigate negotiations are distributed among counties, and analyze the relationship between local capacity, access to resources, and involvement in negotiations. We find that local officials express simultaneously affective and material concerns with the impacts of wind development and see negotiations with the developer as central to realizing local benefits. However, the expertise and staffing needed to negotiate with developers is less accessible to poorer or sparsely populated counties, and counties with lower overall revenues have narrower scopes of negotiation, and counties incre. Our results suggest that uneven rural capacity heightens an already asymmetrical relationship between localities and developers. In analyzing how infrastructure developments are shaped by relationships between localities and developers that are conditioned by austerity and (under)capacity, this paper contributes to and bridges scholarly discussions on rural austerity, rescaling, and renewable energy transitions. These results challenge conventional wisdoms around centralizing energy siting processes, contextualize popular and academic debates about opposition to renewable energy development, and highlight the need for rural reinvestment to realize meaningfully participatory energy developments.
