Abstract: The article discusses "Powerless: The People’s Struggle for Energy," a book by Diana Hernández and Jennifer Laird that highlights the issue of energy insecurity in the United States, paralleling it with food insecurity. The authors argue that energy services should be considered a basic human need, emphasizing the struggles faced by low-income households due to high energy costs, inadequate housing, and bureaucratic hurdles in accessing assistance programs like the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The book combines statistical analysis with personal narratives to illustrate the emotional and physical toll of energy poverty, advocating for policy changes to ensure energy equity and justice. It also critiques the systemic inequalities that contribute to energy insecurity, calling for a reevaluation of how energy services are provided and funded. [Extracted from the article]
