对于许多中等收入家庭来说,支付电费是一件平凡的事情,甚至是愚蠢的行为。但对于越来越多的低收入家庭来说,电费-通过低质量住房存量的种族化物质性和反民主的价格监管过滤-代表着更不祥的东西:迫在眉睫的断开,驱逐和脆弱性的深刻旋转。本文通过南方公用事业的棱镜探讨了美国南部种族的重要性,并绘制了能源价值争论的政治图景。我问,公用事业公司、监管机构和能源正义倡导者对价值的不同概念如何影响到南方腹地的能源价格和种族化的剥夺?我提请注意格鲁吉亚权力的能源价值的高度阐述的叙事政治。在与最近人类学关于价值和“公正价格”的辩论的对话中,我认为格鲁吉亚电力公司对公共权力的垄断参与并加强了南方的种族化政治经济,为低收入家庭生产高家庭能源价格。但这也引发了能源正义倡导者对这些能源价格的解密,他们将能源不公正的无声暴力与人们日常的采掘性公用事业账单联系起来。
For many middle‐income households, paying the electricity bill is a mundane, even mindless, act. But for an ever‐increasing number of low‐income families, the electricity bill—filtered through the racialized materiality of poor‐quality housing stock and antidemocratic price regulation—represents something more ominous: looming disconnection, eviction, and a deep spin of vulnerabilities. This article explores the materiality of race in the US South through the prism of southern utilities and maps the political landscape on which contestations over the value of energy are taking place. I ask, how do different conceptualizations of value by utilities, regulators, and energy justice advocates figure into the price of energy and racialized dispossession in the Deep South? I draw attention to the highly elaborated narrative politics of the value of Georgia Power's energy. In conversation with recent anthropological debates about value and “the just price,” I argue that Georgia Power's monopoly on public power engages and reinforces the racialized political economy of the South to produce high home energy prices for low‐income families. But it also provokes a decryption of these energy prices by energy justice advocates that connects the silent violence of energy injustice to people's everyday experiences of extractive utility bills.
