Case context
Stakeholders advocate for solar-without-storage to reduce carbon footprint; Engineer A recognizes this conflicts with grid reliability and public safety during extreme weather events.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated to explicitly acknowledge and address in the board report the genuine conflict between the legitimate public good of carbon footprint reduction (favored by stakeholders) and the legitimate public good of grid reliability for vulnerable populations, presenting the tradeoffs completely and objectively.
Temporal scope
In the board report prior to the board's capital investment decision

Source Evidence
Source text
stakeholders have expressed interest in reducing the organization's carbon footprint, and these stakeholders suggest that the facility eliminate the generator and replace it with solar panels.
Text references
Engineer A also realizes that a move to solar production without storage may stress the local utility generation mix even more, increasing the likelihood of rolling blackouts.
Engineer A is convinced that the solar project, when considered in isolation, is viable and will satisfy those stakeholders interested in reducing the organization's carbon footprint.
