The global shift to sustainable energy isn’t just about technology—it’s about justice. While some reap the benefits of clean energy, others face skyrocketing costs, unreliable access, and systemic exclusion. Energy Inequalities uncovers the root causes of this divide—flawed policies, volatile pricing, and infrastructural barriers—and reveals how the most vulnerable bear the brunt of energy crises. Through cutting-edge research and real-world case studies, this book exposes the hidden inequities in our energy systems and offers a bold blueprint for change. From fair pricing models to community-driven solutions, it equips policymakers, activists, and scholars with tools to build an energy future that leaves no one behind. Will you be part of the problem—or the solution? Dive into this urgent call to action and join the fight for a just energy transition.
