Concepts from justice and ethics can significantly inform energy decision-makers. Benjamin K. Sovacool introduces readers to the injustices and insecurities inherent in the global energy system before presenting an energy justice conceptual framework consisting of availability, affordability, due process, good governance, prudence, intergenerational equity, and responsibility. He showcases the application of these principles to eight real-world case studies involving national energy planning in Denmark, the Warm Front program in the United Kingdom, the World Bank's Inspection Panel, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, S£o Tom© e Prncipe's Natural Resource Fund, solar energy in Bangladesh, climate change adaptation efforts in least developed countries, and the Yasuni-ITT Initiative in Ecuador.

Industry Reviews

"Sovacool writes with the authority of an expert, has amassed an impressive list of references, and makes his points quantitatively with numerous graphs and tables. ... Overall, Sovacool has presented his readers ... with well-documented ethical challenges stemming from our prodigious energy consumption. Earth would be a better place for all its species if we adhered to Sovacool's eight principles, and his well-documented case studies point the way." (Richard Wolfson, Technology and Culture, Vol. 56, April, 2015
