能源素养奖学金承担了理解和影响人们思考和消费能源的方式，以开发更可持续的能源系统的显着挑战。这个想法是，信息和理解是我们当前社会和未来更可持续的人口之间主要缺失的环节。然而，最近在这一领域的工作却提出了相反的证据，使人们对目前能源扫盲框架和方案的价值提出了质疑。在本文中，我们确定生产的紧张局势和能源素养和能源脆弱性之间的概念的亲和力，并建议，作为一种前进的方式，他们的探索，通过使用和发展的能源生态框架。能源生态学框架将人种学和分析的注意力集中在能源基础设施、获取和使用的特定动态上，这些动态塑造了人们与自己、与其他人和非人类生活、与材料和物体以及与环境的关系。本文件侧重于较脆弱的能源用户的能源知识，他们无法充分获得负担得起的可靠能源服务，而且可能没有多少财力和物力来缓冲损害。我们使用这些数据来论证，将能源素养与能源脆弱性挂钩，突出了与能源素养相关的知识、技能和实践如何随着时间和生命过程的推移而变化，这取决于一个人在不同能源生态中的地位的变化，也取决于每个能源生态组成的开放系统内部和之间关系的变化。
Energy literacy scholarship has taken on the notable challenge of understanding and influencing the way people think about and consume energy to develop more sustainable energy systems. The idea is that information and understanding are the primary missing links between our current society and a future, more sustainable populace. Recent work in this field, however, has presented evidence to the contrary, throwing the value of current frames and programs of energy literacy into question. In this paper, we identify productive tensions and conceptual affinities between energy literacy and energy vulnerability and suggest, as a way forward, their exploration through the use and development of an energy ecology framework. The energy ecology framework focuses ethnographic and analytical attention to the place specific dynamics of energy infrastructures, access, and use that shape people's relationships to themselves, to other humans and non-human life, to materials and objects, and to their environment. This paper focuses on the energy literacy of more vulnerable energy users who experience inadequate access to affordable and reliable energy services, and also may have less financial and material resources to buffer harm. We use this data to argue that pinning energy literacy to energy vulnerability foregrounds how the knowledge, skills, and practices of relevance to energy literacy change over time and over the course of life, based upon one's changing position within different energy ecologies and also based upon changes in the relations within and across the open systems of which each energy ecology is composed.
