This book applies concepts from ethics, justice, and political
philosophy to five sets of contemporary energy problems cutting
across time, economics, politics, geography, and technology. In
doing so, the authors derive two key energy justice principles from
modern theories of distributive justice, procedural justice, and
cosmopolitan justice. The prohibitive principle states that "energy
systems must be designed and constructed in such a way that they do
not unduly interfere with the ability of people to acquire those
basic goods to which they are justly entitled." The affirmative
principle states that "if any of the basic goods to which people
are justly entitled can only be secured by means of energy
services, then in that case there is also a derivative entitlement
to the energy services." In laying out and employing these
principles, the book details a long list of current energy
injustices ranging from human rights abuses and energy-related
civil conflict to energy poverty and pervasive and growing negative
externalities. The book illustrates the significance of energy
justice by combining the most up-to-date data on global energy
security and climate change, including case studies and examples
from the electricity supply, transport, and heating and cooking
sectors, with appraisals based on centuries of thought about the
meaning of justice in social decisions.
