虽然这一点远不明显，但来自正义、哲学和伦理的概念可以显著地告知能源消费者和生产者。本研究详细介绍了能源正义如何作为哲学家和伦理学家的一种新的概念工具，更好地整合通常不同的分配正义和程序正义问题。能源公正是能源研究人员努力理解价值如何融入能源系统或解决常见能源问题的重要分析工具。能源公正是一种有用的决策工具，可以帮助能源规划者和消费者做出更明智的能源选择。我们的能源正义框架有康德伦理的元素，它把每个人都当作目标。它有自由和选择的自由主义元素，表明良好的社会为人们提供了一系列机会或实质性的自由，因此他们可以选择是否行使这些。它是价值的多元主义，认为人们的能力是不同的，他们自己的利益也是不同的。它关注作为承认的正义，注意到程序正义的失败可能导致歧视和边缘化。它也有侧重于功利主义和福利的因素，试图改善所有人的生活质量，根据他们的能力来定义。(C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Though it is far from obvious, concepts from justice, philosophy, and ethics can significantly inform energy consumers and producers. This study details how energy justice can serve as a novel conceptual tool for philosophers and ethicists that better integrates usually distinct distributive and procedural justice concerns. Energy justice serves as an important analytical tool for energy researchers striving to understand how values get built into energy systems or to resolve common energy problems. Energy justice presents a useful decision-making tool that can assist energy planners and consumers in making more informed energy choices. Our energy justice framework has elements of Kantian ethics, which takes each person as an end. It has libertarian elements of freedom and choice, suggesting that good societies present people with a set of opportunities or substantial freedoms, so they can choose to exercise these or not. It is pluralist about value, holding that capabilities for people are different and also that their own interests vary. It is concerned with justice as recognition, noting that failures of procedural justice can result in discrimination and marginalization. It, also, has elements focused on utilitarianism and welfare, attempting to improve the quality of life for all people, as defined by their capabilities. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
