This interview reinforced themes that came up in other interviews. When asked what their earlieset memory of energy was, the respondent mentioned being told my their parent to stop opening up the fridge because that wastes energy. Many other respondents responded to this question similarly, citing thier parents scolding them for wasting energy, either by keeping lights on, opening the fridge repeadetly, etc. When asked about the utility moratorium, the respondent wasn't aware of it until it was defined by the interviewer, and then the respondent stated that they heard about it. This occurred in other interviews as well, indicating that the term "utility moratorium" isn't apart of respondents' lexicon. Similarly, the term "renewable energy" wasn't in this respondent's lexicon, but was familiar with examples of renewable energy sources. This occurred in other interviews as well. This interviewee believed that the transition to renewable energy would be great, and stated that it would require cooperation among people to achieve this. She said that continued education around energy would help with the transition, which is a great suggestion and makes me think about energy workshops that could be titled "collaborative energy sovereignty" or "energy independence" that discuss conservation, energy rights (in terms of shut offs, assistance programs, etc. and could be led by Community Legal Services), and energy transition (bringing in equitable renewable companies like Solar States). This respondent also stated that the Weatherization Assistance Program makes their home energy efficient. They became aware of it through something they received in the mail.
When asked about energy rights, this respondent stated that they have a right to utilities like water, electricity, and gas, which they stated were necessities earlier in the interview. They also said they have the right to decent housing and fair wages.
