Reframing Energy Access: Opportunities for Fair and Sustainable ConsumptionReviewsEnergy for all is a noble ambition - so why do many projects fail? A common factor is too much focus on the tech - energy production - and too little on the ways people actually use energy in their daily lives. Whether it's transplanting rice, cooking food, or traveling on local transport, diverse social arrangements are often in place that achieve impressive results using modest means. This social dimension to energy access is often-overlooked, but Anne Schiffer's first-hand reporting brings it to life. As her fine-grained stories accumulate, the need to integrate energy use with transport, agriculture, and other forms of land-use, becomes inescapable. An understanding of the everyday yields further insights into enabling conditions for energy access: finance; volunteers with the right skills; time. These important lessons transcend both industrialised and developing world contexts. -- John Thackara, author of How To Thrive In The Next Economy and In The Bubble Author InformationAnne Schiffer is Senior Lecturer in the Leeds School of Arts, Leeds Beckett University, UK.
