This research uses functional regression to forecast how climate change will affect electricity demand across California. By modeling complete demand patterns rather than isolated data points, it aims to help design smarter, more resilient, and more equitable power grids that reduce outages during increasingly frequent heatwaves and extreme weather.

The findings challenge assumptions of neutrality and raise concerns about fairness and consistency in the justice system.
