Discovery of the day
This study examines how governments can strategically acquire private energy assets to manage a planned and equitable phase-out of fossil fuel production. The researchers analyze the case of the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, finding that public acquisition of coal mines and related infrastructure can serve as a mechanism to control the pace and social consequences of industry decline. For a retired public servant who managed energy procurement and IT systems, and who sees governance as a moral and spiritual practice serving all humanity, this research offers a concrete policy model for how states can responsibly steward the transition away from fossil fuels while protecting workers and communities.
