Risk in translation
Public support for clean energy tends to follow perceived climate risk, but the relationship between objective climate hazards and that perception remains unexplored. Drawing on Yale Climate Opinion Maps, FEMA's National Risk Index, and 2024 election results across 3094 U.S. counties, we examine geographic co-variation among objective climate risk, perceived risk, social vulnerability, political context, and support for a clean energy transition.…
An invisible threat? Exploring the physical and mental health risks of coal air pollution in the United States
Regional dynamics of public attitudes toward climate change policy, regulatory strategies, and the energy transition in the United States
The energy trilemma COP-out
Media coverage plays a crucial role in shaping public understanding of energy challenges and climate policy; robustly monitoring the way that energy challenges are depicted in news media is therefore important for understanding progress on meeting climate change goals. This study employs corpus linguistics methodology to analyze global media representations of the energy trilemma - the balance between accessibility, security, and environmental su…

Reducing the Vulnerability of Electric Power Infrastructure against Natural Disasters by Promoting Distributed Generation
Natural disasters cause significant damage to the electrical power infrastructure every year. Therefore, there is a crucial need to reduce the vulnerability of the electric power grid against natural disasters. Distributed generation (DG) represents small-scale decentralized power generation that can help reduce the vulnerability of the grid, among many other benefits. Examples of DG include small-scale photo-voltaic (PV) systems. Accordingly, th…

National goals or sense of community? Exploring the social-psychological influence of household solar energy adoption in rural China
Energy saving at work
Extreme events, energy security and equality through micro- and macro-levels
Validity of energy social research during and after Covid-19
Coronavirus comes home? Energy use, home energy management, and the social-psychological factors of Covid-19
This study explores the dynamics of energy use patterns, climate change issues and the relationship between social-psychological factors, with residents' acceptance of and willingness to pay (WTP) for home energy management systems (HEMS) during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York. The results of our survey suggest that there were no longer morning or evening usage peaks on weekdays, and a significant portion of respondents are experiencing higher …
Social media and disasters
Social media have been widely recognized as critical communication channel in disaster situations. However, there is limited empirical investigation on how the intersecting issues of social order, environmental impacts, and crisis communication unfold from the perspective of a social media user. This study examines 60,449 tweets to and from the news media in Florida during and immediately after Hurricane Irma in September, 2017. Based on a critic…

A Smart Home Test Bed for Undergraduate Education to Bridge the Curriculum Gap From Traditional Power Systems to Modernized Smart Grids
There is a worldwide trend to modernize old power grid infrastructures to form future smart grids, which will achieve efficient, flexible energy consumption by using the latest technologies in communication, computing, and control. Smart grid initiatives are moving power systems curricula toward smart grids. Although the components of smart grids fall within the broader discipline of electrical and computer engineering, undergraduate students are…
