The first efforts to use of wind to generate electricity was 134 years ago, and the photoelectric effect was discovered six decades earlier. So in a sense, these are old technologies — about the same age as the very first internal combustion engines. But the scientific and technological advances that made these technologies competitive with fossil fuels are much more recent.

Rising seas threaten the viability of thousands of coastal communities in the US. Encroaching water means higher high tides that seep into streets and first floors, sunny-day flooding, and more water to fuel dangerous and destructive storm surges. So many buildings—homes, schools, hospitals, parks, fire stations—are clustered on our coasts, at risk of being regularly inundated with seawater, and built for a climate that no longer exists.

Active public policy to support the broader economic well-being is a hallmark of democracies and modern economies. Everyone will suffer greatly from sea-level rise and climate change if policymakers cede decision-making to corporate interests. In the electric utility industry, this conflict is on display in the debate over who makes decisions on new electric transmission and how to include policies set by state laws.
