520 |a In the late 1990s, when California's deregulation of the production and sale of electricpower created massive energy shortages a group of environmental justice activists, largely high school students, blocked construction of a power plant in their working-class Mexican and Central American neighborhoods.

Karen Brodkin analyzes how those issues came to be opposed and unpacks the racial and class.
