Recently got the chance to discuss the importance of second life batteries and how to encourage a more sustainable transition to clean energy ⚡️🌎

[Union of Concerned Scientists @UCSUSA]

"By extending the life of [an electric vehicle] battery, we reduce the need for further exploitation of our natural resources, we reduce the demand for raw materials, and we generally encourage a more sustainable process.”—UCS energy analyst Maria Chavez. https://t.co/f6fgzm6UKk

Environmental justice without disability justice is not just.

[Union of Concerned Scientists @UCSUSA]

"Clean technologies like energy storage have several benefits for households and our larger energy systems, but they can also be critical lifesaving tools for people with disabilities and health conditions."—UCS analyst Maria Chavez via @UtilityDive. https://t.co/NvzndbH9V0
