Choosing Energy Futures: Framing, Lock-in, and Diversity
Debates over energy futures are routinely couched in terms of ‘autonomous, unavoidable imperatives’ – by this we mean, when we think of solutions to our energy future problems we often think of simple, single answers set apart from a more complex and messy reality. Nowhere is this more true, than in discussions of the role of nuclear power. Here, attention turns again and again to ostensibly concrete limits on what is possible by other means. Very often, the bottom line is simply that there is no alternative. As any politician well knows, even the most ardent sceptic can be cowed by this rhetoric. This section looks at what happens if we remain sceptical and un-cowed.
