Who will ‘go electric’? American homeowners' perceptions of home energy sources and home electrification
Trial by Fire
The September 2020 Oregon wildfires were unprecedented in terms of their geographic scope and the number of communities affected by smoke and wildfire. Although it is difficult to directly attribute the event to climate change, scientists have noted the strong connection between warmer and drier conditions in the western United States—conditions that are linked to climate change—and increasing wildfire risk. These wildfires thus had the potential…
Disaster preparedness and community helping behaviour in the wake of the 2020 Oregon wildfires
Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity owing to climate change. Individual-level behavioural responses-notably, disaster preparedness and community helping actions (such as donating and volunteering)-supplement government efforts to respond to such phenomena, but rarely have they been explored together. Using data from a survey administered soon after the 2020 Oregon wildfires, this paper compares a range of socio-demogra…
Poor Air Quality during Wildfires Related to Support for Public Safety Power Shutoffs
Millions of Americans experienced impacts from the 2020 wildfire season, including unhealthy air quality from smoke. We examine how exposure to poor air quality during wildfires relates to public opinion toward Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPSs). PSPSs have been increasingly deployed in the Western U.S. during extreme wildfire conditions to reduce ignition risk from power equipment by de-energizing sections of the electrical grid, potentially l…
Using Structural Topic Modeling to Explore the Role of Framing in Shaping the Debate on Liquefied Natural Gas Terminals in Oregon
The drastic increase in domestic production of natural gas due to the fracking boom prompted efforts to develop a robust infrastructure in the U.S. to export natural gas. Given environmental concerns over increased fossil fuel development, significant opposition mobilized to "keep it [fossil fuels] in the ground" by acting to prevent not only natural gas production but also its transportation via pipelines and shipping via export terminals. Our a…
Public preferences for five electricity grid decarbonization policies in California
The climate crisis and associated push for distributed, renewable electricity generation necessitate policy changes to decarbonize and modernize the electricity grid. Some of these changes-e.g., smart meter rollouts and tax credits for solar panel adoption-have received attention in the media and from social scientists to understand public perceptions and responses. Others-e.g., allowing peer-to-peer electricity sales, promoting residential elect…
