This data tool, which accompanies a 2021 working paper, allows users to visualize "hotspots" that may be most affected by an energy transition away from fossil fuels. The tool combines a near-comprehensive view of fossil fuel activities at the county level with a range of socioeconomic, environmental, and public health indicators. These indicators are based on recent (e.g., 2018 or 2019) data, and do not predict the effects of the energy transition for communities. Instead, they indicate the baseline conditions under which an energy transition would occur. As such, they are subject to change in the future. For example, a rapid transition away from oil could reduce local pollution in refining communities while at the same time reducing population or economic outcomes in oil producing regions.
