Download or read book High Energy Costs written by Hans H. Landsberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two major concerns in the energy policy debate relate to economic efficiency and whether the price should indicate to each consumer the true cost to the economy of using more energy, and the second is that of economic equity where it is argued that energy is a basic necessity for survival and the government has the responsibility to provide assistance for lower-income families. Originally published in 1982, this volume focuses on the uneven impact of rising energy costs on different income groups, regions, and household locations. This collection of papers helps to fill the knowledge gaps about the amount and distribution of household energy expenditure. The volume is organised with a paper introducing each topic followed by one or two discussants’ remarks further examining the issues at hand. It is a valuable title for students interested in environmental studies and national policy.

Book excerpt: High energy prices affect nearly the whole of the American population, arguably affecting some consumer groups more than others. Although originally published in 1981, the issues explored in this study such as who is affected most by energy price increases, regional differences and what can or should be done in the United States in regards to energy costs are still as relevant today as they were then. These papers attempt to directly address these concerns in the wake of the 1979-80 price shock in America and to advise what action can be taken to allay these concerns. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies and economics.
Download or read book Energy Cost Burdens for Low Income and Minority Households in Six U S Cities written by Constantine E. Kontokosta and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the three primary components of housing affordability measures - housing cost, transportation costs, and utility costs - utility expenditures are the least understood, yet the one area where the cost burden can be reduced without household relocation. Existing data sources to measure energy costs are limited to surveys with small samples and low spatial and temporal resolution, such as the American Housing Survey and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey. This paper presents a new method to estimate household energy cost burdens that leverages actual building energy use data for 13,000 multi-family properties across six U.S. cities, and links energy costs to savings opportunities based on an analysis of 3,000 energy audit reports. We examine differentials in cost burdens across household demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and analyze spatial, regional, and building-level variations in energy use and expenditures. We find that the average low-income household has an energy cost burden of 7%, whereas higher-income households have an average burden of 2%. Notably, we find that even within defined income bands, minority households experience higher energy cost burdens than non-Hispanic White households. For lower-income households, low-cost energy improvements could reduce energy costs by as much as $1,500 per year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2011. This is Volume 9 of fourteen in a set of titles on Policy and Governance. Resources for the Future is a non- profit organization for research and education in the development, conservation, and use of natural resources, including the quality of the environment. The issues of conservation, the environment, and energy have enormous implications not only in terms of those issues specifically, but also for regional conflict in the United States. If we are to have any kind of resolution of these issues, there must be a sense of equity, that everyone is sacrificing equally. If there is a perception of inequity, then all of the ingredients are there for social unrest. This volume explores this issue.

Book excerpt: Arguing that the energy price policies of the 1970s represented a major equity/efficiency trade-off and led to a dramatic decline in the living standard of lower income Americans, this book presents a comprehensive data-based assessment of the plight of lower income households between 1973 and 1983.
Download or read book Vulnerable Households in the Energy Transition written by Rossella Bardazzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the energy transition / energy poverty nexus in the European Union, including the implications of the transition and related policies for the household sector. Written by experts on energy economics, energy studies and related fields, it examines the impacts and costs of the energy transition (including those caused by carbon pricing) for the economy and for families in particular. Providing case studies on Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Greece, the contributing authors highlight current overlapping vulnerabilities for households, show the effects of decarbonization policies on relative prices, and discuss strategies for reducing energy poverty while also decarbonizing. Moreover, they address household and consumer vulnerabilities in connection with societal transformations such as demographic changes and the aging populations of Europe and particularly Italy. Given its scope, the book will appeal to scholars and students of energy studies, energy economics and related fields, and to anyone interested in the benefits and costs of the ongoing energy transition.
