Dr. Destenie Nock and Dr. Luling Huang discuss hidden forms of energy poverty (energy equity gaps) from their study in Chicago, IL. They find that low income groups cope with financial strain differently in the summer and winter, which will have implications for the energy transition. This work has been supported by the Council on Library and Information Resources, the National Science Foundation [grants: 2121730 and 2049333], and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

When people need to make a decision, such as whether to buy an electric or hybrid car, they must first lay out their preferences (for example in terms of price or miles per gallon). Then they need to select the option that best satisfies these preferences. This can be a daunting task when there are many options, complex ways of characterizing those options, and when individuals are unsure about how to make tradeoffs among them. In this video, Dr. Destenie Nock and Christine Cao discuss how their work will help people better understand their preferences and make better decisions in the future. This work has been funded in part by NSF grants 2049333 and 2121730.
