能源供给侧和需求侧动态的汇合将脆弱社区连接在能源生产和消费的频谱上。沿着能源连续体的脆弱社区所承受的不成比例的负担很少同时得到审查。然而，从司法的角度来看，在美国和其他国家，有一些重要的相似之处值得进一步探索。第一步是通过理论构建和实际应用，了解能源连续体中脆弱性和正义的联系。本文将能源视为一个社会和环境正义问题，并推进了我们目前对能源与脆弱性之间联系的理解，特别是在美国的背景下。本文借鉴了几个新兴概念，包括“能源牺牲区”、“能源不安全”和“能源正义”，为考察能源连续体中的关键牺牲奠定了基础。最后，提出了四项基本权利，作为在能源领域实现对弱势群体的承认和公平的起点。
The confluence of energy supply- and demand-side dynamics links vulnerable communities along the spectrum of energy production and consumption. The disproportionate burden borne by vulnerable communities along the energy continuum are seldom examined simultaneously. Yet, from a justice perspective there are important parallels that merit further exploration in the United States and beyond. A first step is to understand links to vulnerability and justice along the energy continuum by way of theoretical constructs and practical applications. The present article posits energy as a social and environmental justice issue and advances our current understanding of the links between energy and vulnerability, particularly in the U.S. context. Drawing on several emerging concepts including, “energy sacrifice zones,” “energy insecurity” and “energy justice,” this article lays a foundation for examining critical sacrifices along the energy continuum. To conclude, four basic rights are proposed as a starting point to achieve recognition and equity for vulnerable populations in the realm of energy.
