Energy Fables: Challenging Ideas in the Energy Sector takes a fresh
look at key terms and concepts around which energy research and
policy are organised. Drawing on recent research in energy and
transport studies, and combining this with concepts from sociology,
economics, social theory and technology studies, the chapters in
this collection review and challenge different aspects of received
wisdom. Brief but critical introductions to classic notions like
those of 'energy efficiency', 'elasticity', 'energy services' and
the 'energy trilemma', together with discussions and analyses of
well-worn phrases about 'low hanging fruit' and 'keeping the lights
on', articulate aspects of the energy debate that are often taken
for granted. In re-working these established themes and adding
twists to familiar tales, the authors develop a repertoire of new
ideas about the fundamentals of energy demand and carbon reduction.
This book presents a valuable and thought-provoking resource for
students, researchers and policy-makers interested in energy
demand, politics and policy.
