Gautam Yadama discusses energy impoverishment

Gautam N. Yadama, PhD, professor and director of international programs at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis, has spent much of his academic career researching the issue of energy impoverishment and communities in India, Nepal and Bhutan that are dependent on forests for their livelihoods. Yadama and photographer Mark Katzman are taking that issue to a broader audience with the publication of Fires, Fuel, and the Fate of 3 Billion: The State of the Energy Impoverished (Oxford University Press 2013), a 152-page collection of photos and essays that tell an eye-opening, insightful story about energy access in the rural villages of India, where the hunt for safe, affordable energy is often a matter of life and death. He talks about his research, the book, and how to raise awareness of this important issue.
