Study Guide: Discussion Questions Diversifying Power Why We Need Antiracist, Feminist Leadership on Climate and Energy By Jennie C. Stephens Foreword by Ted Landsmark
Chapter 1 What is climate isolationism? Provide an example of this way of thinking and explain why it is a narrow way to consider responding to the climate crisis. What is energy democracy? Describe how the renewable transformation away from fossil fuels can be viewed as an opportunity rather than a threat.

What are the principles of antiracist and feminist leadership? Explain what is meant by the phrase “All politics is climate politics.” Chapter 2 The domains of energy and climate have historically been dominated by white males focused on short-term gain. How have these leaders been effective? Who is “the polluter elite”?
