Nicholas Britton is a Master of Public Administration in Environmental Science and Policy at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs .

Britton 's passion for energy policy began at Dartmouth College , where he majored in environmental studies.

He believes that equitable energy access is a fundamental human right and a powerful lever for climate and equity solutions.

Some of our research has focused on oil-producing states like New Mexico and Wyoming , where fossil fuel revenues fund local services like schools and municipalities.

We're exploring mechanisms like legally binding agreements between towns and wind developers, and tax structures that return energy revenues to residents.

We have the technology to produce renewable energy; it’s just a matter of cost and placement.
